MEET YOUR CAMP LEADER

Christina Pawlowski-Lehn - Founder and Lead Music Educator of cadenza kids

      In 2014 Christina walked into Cadenza Music to check out some ukuleles. Within a few moments, she was singing with Cadenza owner, Dan Lehn, accompanying her on ukulele. Staff and customers circled around this impromptu musical sharing and began to sing and snap along. Three years later, Dan and Christina were married.

Christina has been dreaming up ideas for a young children’s music program since the birth of her son, Theo, in 2019. The pandemic put a stop to these plans, but the dreaming continued. With great joy, the program was finally launched in Fall of 2023.

Christina was raised in a musically rich home, where she learned to play the recorder and flute at a young age. Today, Christina sings professionally and actively performs throughout the twin cities area. She is a collector of songs - old folk and traditional songs, new contemporary songs, composers she finds along the way, and simple original songs. Christina and Dan have loved sharing and creating music with Theo ever since he was a newborn, especially those silly impromptu improvisational tunes that make the whole family laugh.

In addition to her musical background, Christina is a certified yoga teacher, and has brought yoga and mindfulness teachings to both adults and children for many years through public classes, youth programs, workshops and retreats.

Christina has based her music classes on the Musikgarten curriculum - an early childhood music education program - along with weaving in her many years collecting songs and studying music, movement, and mindfulness.

“We are delighted to have you here, and are thrilled that you believe in the value of bringing music into your child’s life. The ripple effect is endless. Together, let's create some joyful connection through the power of music.” - Christina Pawlowski, founder and teacher of Cadenza Kids
