Talia Fuchs is a vocalist-composer, interdisciplinary artist, and teacher from Brooklyn. She received a Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance from McGill University, and is a graduate of the Master of Music Performer/Composer program at The New School. Her musical practice spans Western classical music, creative-experimental jazz, and avant-garde theatre. She has been teaching voice and piano to students of all ages since 2019. When a family she nannied for asked her to start teaching weekly music lessons to their toddlers, Talia discovered the magic that happens when music is a consistent part of a child’s early life. This experience sparked a curiosity about early childhood music making that led to her finding Music Together. When her hands aren’t busy play instruments like piano and ukelele, you can find them knitting.
