Joia Wood

Joia Wood is a multifaceted artist, educator, and creative facilitator who delights in helping people of all ages connect with their inherent musical and creative selves through improvisational sound and movement. 

Joia has over 30 years of experience working with children and families, and is dedicated to fostering creativity, connection, and learning through music, nature, and the arts. She is a Certified Restorative Storyteller, trained Music Together instructor, and Teaching Artist at MiMA Music.

In addition to her work in education and community building, Joia is an accomplished vocalist, musician, dancer, performance artist, and songwriter. Her curiosity and love of nature inspire all of her creative pursuits. 

My style is informal and friendly. I approach music intuitively rather than technically. I invite students to explore what they can do with the abilities they currently have as well as following their curiosity and interest in expanding their musical vocabulary and expression.
