Andrea Brainard

Andrea Brainard teaches Kinderlab.
She holds a Bachelor of Music Education from Kansas State University
and Kodaly Level I Certification. She brings more than 16 years
of experience teaching music to young children and delights in the
process of discovery and exploration in the music classroom.
Andrea is an accomplished vocalist who sings with the Wichita Chamber
Chorale. She also plays piano and has a special interest in
children's literature, which she enjoys incorporating into the music
classes she teaches.
“As Kinderlab teacher, I love to watch the delight in children's faces
as they see and hear a bagpipe or string bass for the first time, discover
how to crescendo and decrescendo with their singing voices, or make a rhythm
on paper come to life as they play sticks and drums. The minds and hearts of
children are open to the power and diversity that comes in the study and
enjoyment of music. Camp Allegro is both nurturing and challenging for the
kids who attend and the lessons learned at camp will serve them well in both
music and life.”
