Maggie Harrigan is currently a general music and chorus teacher at Fox Hill Elementary in Burlington, MA. She graduated from Gordon College in 2013 in Music Education and recently graduated from Eastman School of Music with a Masters in Music Education. Her research focuses on playful learning in music in elementary age children.
