Lutz Resident’s Love For Music Inspires Her To Share

Music has been a part of Rosi Stagi’s life for as long as she can remember.
Whether it was singing in choruses as a child and later as an adult, or teaching music at an elementary school, her passion has evolved throughout her life.
Now, she wants to share her love for music with more children, through the Kindermusik program. The program provides a variety of classes for children from infants up to 7 years of age. All the classes incorporate music to help in a child’s developmental process. Some
classes include sign language or other activities.
“Music is so important,” said Stagi. “The earlier you expose them, the earlier it helps with brain development.”
Stagi was born in Baltimore, but has lived most of her life in Town ‘N Country, attending local schools like Webb Middle School and graduating from Leto High School.
Stagi said she sang in chorus almost starting from kindergarten until the day she graduated.
“I love to sing with a group of people,” she added. “I love to get feedback from people and hear how music has moved people.”
Now Stagi continues to sing with the Master Chorale of Tampa Bay, Richard Zielinski Singers and the Messiah Lutheran Church chorus.
Stagi, a Lutz resident, decided to get certified through the Kindermusik program back in the summer of 2005. Since then she began offering the program to students after school at Tampa Day School, where she teaches music and is a reading clinician for kindergarten and first grade. She has been teaching for the last 10 years and has a degree in elementary education from the University of South Florida.
Stagi recently offered different classes like the village class, which teaches rhythm and routine, at the Carrollwood Jazzercise Center, 4125 A Gunn Highway.
Starting in April she hopes to teach another village class and a sign and sing class, which involves sign language. By summer, she
anticipates having camps to offer additional classes.
“She is really good with kids,” said Marialba Baez, owner of Move ‘N Groove City. “Her classes are very interactive and dynamic.”
