(In partnership with Adapt Music, Inc.)
Licensed Music Educator
A licensed music educator since 2003, Bridgette Bitzegaio, founder of Adapt Music, Inc., taught music in the public school system for 15 years. It was by teaching in the school’s special education program that she discovered her passion for teaching adaptive music. Seeing first-hand the impact music had on children’s lives led her to found her nonprofit, Adapt Music, Inc. Bridgette creates musical experiences for people of all abilities. Adaptive musical experiences like singing, dancing, moving, and playing motivate and promote auditory and visual tracking, self-discipline, accomplishment, creativity, self-expression, and social relationships. She believes all people should create music in their own way to experience the power of music.
