| Alisa Harmon, the director of HARMONIZE, lives in Montclair with her children. She is a professionally trained singer who has been teaching music to children since she was 14. When motherhood altered her career in banking, she recaptured her love for children's music by teaching for several national music programs including Music Together, Music for Aardvarks & Other Mammals, Rockin' Horse Music, and High Scope. She has since moved on to writing her own zany music curriculum. She now spends her mornings with babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers who enjoy music that truly celebrates childhood. Her afternoons are filled with more singing as she modifies her music program for pre-schoolers with Autism and other special needs in the Montclair Public Schools. Above all, her highest and greatest calling is that of mother to her amazing children: Tanner, Zoe, Eva, and a tiny angel baby, Liam, who now lives in heaven and watches and listens to Mommy singing lullabies. | |||||||||||||||||||

| Rick Celano received his first guitar from his grandmother at the age of ten. After learning a few Beatles and Pink Floyd songs, he began to write his own music. Also known as "Rickman," he can be found around the Montclair music scene performing solo, with Alisa Harmon and – although he has no offspring of his own – with Parents Who Rock. Being the oldest of six children, he has had quite a bit of experience with kids.
As a professional graphic designer/web designer, Rick keeps the Harmonize website and collateral materials up to date and beautiful. As a musician, Rick enjoys his time accompanying Alisa and playing with the kids in class. |
