Wendy Pendergrass To All Instructors

Hello! I’m Wendy and am excited to share my passion for music with your kiddos.  I believe we are all born to sing and make music.  My philosophy is that kids need lots of fun and joyful exposure to music at a young age.  FUN first!! Lots of games, smiles, singing and laughter! That is what I do! True learning takes place without kids even knowing it. I have a heart to build children up in their musical talents and in all aspects of their life!  I’m also obsessed with all the research on how learning music has many amazing impacts on the developing brain. I think it is one of the best ways to improve connections between the right and left hemispheres of the brain, which ends up improving so many academic subjects and reasoning skills. 

I grew up right down the street from the Meadowlark Church. I did many years of gymnastics and piano lessons in my youth.  I have been married to a wonderful guy, Dave, for 19 years, who is the magic behind the scenes in anything I do.  I have 4 children, ages 17, 14, 9, and 7. They are the pride and joy of my life! I have had many opportunities to sing and perform with them, which I have treasured!  I have been a homeschool mom for 4 years, but have always dabbled with different charter schools and more creative forms of education. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science from BYU. Over the past 17 years  I have taught church choir, show choir, individual piano, group piano, preschool music classes, and children’s musical theater. I have worked for Giacoletti Music Center, the City of San Marcos, and Sound System Kids.  I have served as Chair of the Board for 10 years for Sound System Kids, a non-profit children’s music company that  promotes more music opportunities for all children in the community.  I also enjoy singing and performing locally in community theater.  My first leading role was Maria in Sound of Music at the Star Theatre in 2011, which launched me into many wonderful roles. Some of my favorite roles were The Cat in Seussical the Musical at the CCAE in 2016 and Miss Honey in Matilda the Musical at the Lyceum Theater in 2019. I aspire to be as daring as Maria, as silly as The Cat, and as kind as Miss Honey while I am teaching. Thank you for trusting me with your precious little ones!
