Meg started piano lessons at the age of 5 with her mother, Janet B. Smith, and studied the viola with Nancy Hunt of the RPO. At age 12, she continued piano lessons through the Eastman School of Music’s community education program with Harriet Zimmerman, and also continued viola lessons, playing in the Youth Orchestra (RPYO). Meg attended Houghton College, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education.
Meg began offering private lessons as well as working as a school music/elementary teacher. She later returned to the Eastman School of Music, focusing on piano and early childhood music. She created “Munchkin Music,” a movement and music program for pre-school children, which involves the use of rhythm instruments.
