Ms. Rebecca Heib - Owner/Director, Licensed Music Educator

Being the daughter of a professional dancer and the granddaughter of a concert pianist, Rebecca grew up in an environment where music and dancing were a fun and regular part of her childhood - which grew into an understanding and passion for the arts. She played violin for 12 years and was actively involved in musical and dramatic productions all throughout her youth. During College, Rebecca pursued professional dance and took many ballet and jazz classes at Spectrum Dance Company and Cornish College of the arts in Seattle, WA.

Along with her musical talent, Rebecca has a genuine love and appreciation for children.

Rebecca has worked as an instructor in the Bellevue Community College Parent Education Program and has been a public speaker for many parenting groups including P.E.P.S, Mothers and More and M.O.P.S. Rebecca has also spent the last eight years teaching music classes to young children at a preschool in Bellevue and at a local  Montessori.

Rebecca has been involved with Kindermusik since 1997, and has experienced the joy and power of enriching children's lives through music and movement in a variety of ways for more than 2 decades. Through Rebecca’s many years of working with families, she brings a wealth of experience, education and fun into each class. And with her extensive background in working closely with families comes a compassion and understanding for each parent in wanting only the very best for their child!
