Su D'Ambrosio

Assunta "Su" D'Ambrosio is the Instruction and Community Engagement Manager for Cape Symphony. She is also a music specialist for the Cape Symphony Preschool 2-Day classes. She has been teaching music for over 30 years, including general and instrumental music in public schools for 17 years as well as private lessons on clarinet. Su became interested in early childhood education after the birth of her first daughter in 1997. Watching her daughter listen and respond to music made it clear that these early years are a crucial time for exposure to rhythm and tonal patterns as they are the seeds and foundation for understanding music later in life. She lives in Plymouth, MA with her daughters Maria, Rosa, and her dog Bernie.
