My name is Ada Cruz-Hernandez and I am the Music Teacher at Santa Cruz Catholic School. I have a BA in Music with a focus on Early Childhood Development and Education, and I’m passionate about teaching music the way we learn language—using the Kodály Method. Through singing, movement, and hands-on activities, I help students develop a deep understanding of music.
In Early Childhood, we focus on music and movement, making learning fun and interactive. Middle school students dive into band, where they not only play instruments but also explore the history behind them. I also have the joy of preparing students to sing in the choir for our daily Mass, helping them grow in both musical skill and faith.
Outside the classroom, I love sewing, embroidery, painting, interior design, and all things DIY. I’m excited to share my love for music with our students and watch them grow through the power of rhythm and song!
