Center Director/Teacher 

Lisa Hearns has been teaching music for twenty years, and is a graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. The daughter of two music teachers, Lisa began singing and playing music at an early age. Lisa had the support and guidance of her mother who played professionally and taught piano for many years, and her father who taught singing at Boston University and later Lesley College. Her training continued as a young woman, studying trumpet, piano, guitar and voice privately. Lisa began playing professionally first in the New York tri-state area in the late 80's, then received her Bachelor of Music degree from Berklee. While working toward her degree in Boston, Lisa began performing jazz, and teaching music privately. She continues to work as a jazz vocalist, and has released two professional recordings. Her latest recording has received airplay across the country on jazz radio, and was produced by 7 time Grammy award winning producer Elliot Scheiner. 

Before opening Tiny Voices Little Songs (previously Tiny Voices Music Together), Lisa apprenticed with Lili Levinowitz, PhD, Director of Research, Music Together, LLC and Coauthor of Music Together. Lisa is excited about offering the Music Together program to families in the Monmouth and Middlesex counties, and is dedicated to sharing the gift of music with her students. In September 2013 Lisa received her Certification Level I for teaching mastery of Music Together, and she received her Certification Level II, Music Together's highest level of advanced certification in August, 2016.

Elana Eng specializes in teaching the Babies Program. She's affectionally known amongst friends and families in our classes as the Baby Whisperer! A former Music Together mom herself, and parent to three very musical children, Elana brings a wealth of information and knowledge about music development in infants and young children, as well as a ton of experience as a mom, to her classes. Her gentle approach, her love for the Music Together program, and for teaching Babies classes in particular, is evident from the minute you step into her classroom. We are thrilled to have her as part of our Tiny Voices Little Songs team, sharing in helping us bring this wonderful program to the communities that we serve.
