Kym Johnson is a Certified Music Together teacher and licensed Center Director of Music City Music Together Inc.  and has been teaching Music Together for 25 years. She grew up in a house full of music and couldn't imagine a life without it! Kym has a degree in Musical Theatre from Birmingham Southern College in Alabama and represented the state of Alabama in the 1987 Miss America Pageant.

After graduating she headed out to California with her now husband to pursue her dream of acting and music. While trying to "make it" in LA she spent her time traveling, teaching and performing with the Santa Monica Playhouse and doing various voice over work and commercials. While working as a caregiver for two wonderful families Kym discovered Music Together and knew instantly it was her destiny to share this magical program with as many families as possible! With over 1500 families having participated in her classes in California, Kym and her musician husband, Buck Johnson, have now made their way back to the south and settled in Nashville where they plan to stay and continue making music in the Music City. Kym and her staff are now celebrating 17 years of bringing Music Together to Nashville!

Jodie has recently relocated to the Nashville area from northern Minnesota where she was director and teacher of Music Together of Cloquet. Since the fall of 2019 she has simply loved serving families and bringing music into their lives through each and every semester of Music Together. Her teaching has been a natural extension of her years of teaching piano and working with children of all abilities through music therapy in IA, CO, TX and MN. She is passionate about helping families share precious moments together through music! Jodie and her husband, along with their four grown kids (and now spouses), share the special bond of music making. Jodie enjoys cooking/baking, scrapbooking, serving in her faith community and looks forward to exploring the beauty of the outdoors in TN!
