Miri Gottlieb – Musician – Silver Spring, MD

Miri Gottlieb was raised in a musical home and began studying piano at the age of five. She began her music career as a music counselor and a choir director at a summer camp for girls between her years of high school. While studying in Israel during a gap year, Miri organized and led a choir for the women on her program. She earned a BA in Music at the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College, and throughout her eight years in New York, Miri taught music to children ages two through high school in several schools in Queens and on Long Island. The highlight of this experience was arranging and directing musical performances and productions. Since moving back to Silver Spring in 1997, Miri has taught music at many of the local Jewish day schools and preschools, most notably at the Torah School of Greater Washington, where she is now in her twentieth year.
