I am Ms. Adrienne
Hey There, Chess Player !
teaching artist • early childhood educator
At the heart of everything I do is a genuine love for working with children and creating spaces where they feel seen, supported, and excited to learn.
I've always been inspired by the magic of childhood. The bright minds, big imaginations, and the spark that happens when learning feels like discovery.
A lifelong lover of the arts, I grew up immersed in music and performance: piano, voice, musical theatre, dance, even aerial silks!
MY PATH TO MUSICAL CHESS
Bachelor of Fine Arts
in Musical Theatre
early childhood music teacher
chess
tutor
moved to New York City for acting career
children’s theatre
choreographer + director
NYC education startup creative + leadership roles
It was in these spaces that . . .
I discovered the magic of
introducing CHESS to young kids
Through engaging, hands-on learning, I witnessed children grow more confident, focused, and empowered to discover their full potential.
Fueled by my experiences and the moments that moved me, I created Musical Chess, a platform that blends music, movement, and creative play to make the game of chess exciting and approachable for young children.
Musical Chess began from
a small, unexpected moment . . .
It all started on a simple car ride, when ⚡ ZAP!, a fun little song about the bishops came to mind and I worked out the lyrics before I even parked. Chess piece after piece, those early songs grew into a full curriculum and eventually what Musical Chess is today.
Our Mission
To create joyful learning experiences that empower children to discover their full potential.
Through playful digital learning that blends chess, music, movement, and creativity, Musical Chess supports the emotional, social, and intellectual development of the whole child, creating quality edutainment that families can trust.
