Joy McCoy, Owner & Director

Mrs. Joy was born into a family that sings together. A close family friend has said that being with her family is like being in a musical, one person starts a song and everyone else joins in.
She received a degree in music education from Angelo State University and has taught students from preschool to high school. She loves teaching Kindermusik because it provides all the most wonderful aspects of early learning for children through the framework of music but without the pressures of performance, so children and adults are free to grow in their own unique ways.
Joy shares music at home with her husband and their 3 children. C.S. Lewis said, “It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.” Her hope is to carry every load she may have in her life with a song in her heart, and to share that music with others.
Jessica Lemmons, Kindermusik Educator

A born performer, Mrs. Jessica has been singing pretty much from day one! As the child of a pianist and a band director, Jessica's life has been steeped in music, and she has never known a time when it wasn't her close companion. She spent her early life being toted along to opera rehearsals, choir concerts, and the occasional class piano lesson, learning along the way. A graduate of Abilene Christian University, she received her Bachelor of Music degree with an emphasis in Vocal Performance, while continuing her opera studies.
Moving to Bryan/College Station, Jessica has remained active in the local performance scene, while also discovering a love of teaching. In addition to her private voice studio, Jessica is also a dance instructor at Pure Energy Dance Productions and The Dance Barre.
Mrs. Jessica can't wait to bring you and your little ones along into the musical world that has held her close from the beginning. Jessica is momma to Eli and Zelda (and Sheila the dog), and is thrilled to be a part of the Kindermusik team.
Mandy Vanecek, Kindermusik Educator

Ms. Mandy was brought up around music ever since she was young. Her grandfather had a polka band, father had a band, and brother as well. Her parents and brother always saw to it that she knew how important music was. Going to see The Rolling Stones as a family will be something she will never forget as her dad taught them all about concerts early on.
She was born and raised in College Station. She went to college for Real Estate but decided to pursue her love of teaching littles. She teaches at a Mother’s Day Out and has also taught at Neal Headstart.
One of the fondest memories she holds onto is on Saturday nights her family would invite all the neighbors over and have concerts in their living room. She always sang in choir at school and church. The best choir trip was when she went to sing at St. John’s Cathederal in New York.
She can’t wait to share, learn, and grow with you and your littles!
Elizabeth Eason Martin, Kindermusik Educator

Elizabeth inherited a love of music from her dad who blasted Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, and Van Morrison on the “surround sound” he rigged up himself with wired speakers stretching through almost every room in her childhood home. He was in a band and filled the house with his guitar and harmonica playing.
Elizabeth began her own musical journey playing alto saxophone in marching band and singing in choir throughout her school career in Russellville, AR. She graduated from the University of Central Arkansas with her MA in English. She became a middle and high school English teacher for 10 years and then found her way back to music when she signed up her daughter for Mrs. Joy’s foundations class.
Being in kindermusik class with her daughter reminded her how much more fun life is with music. She’s thrilled to integrate her love of music and love of teaching into a job that also inspires her to be a more playful and present mom to her two children, Mitchell and Mackenzie.
Emily Bevans, Administrative Assistant

Emily Bevans, mother of an energetic six-year old and wife to an equally energetic high school teacher, loves the idea of shaping young minds through music. Though her only musical claim is singing in the car with her family, she brings to the Kindermusik Team a wealth of organizational expertise and a desire to help. After graduating from Texas A&M, she worked as an academic advisor and in retail before becoming a stay-at-home-mom. She is very excited about her new role as Administrative Assistant for Kindermusik.
Taking four years of art in high school gave her a love for all Fine Arts and a clear understanding of how important the arts are to a well-rounded education. After becoming a mom, she saw first hand how important music is for child development and how meeting other parents through these types of programs is equally as important.
In her spare time, Emily loves spending time with her family, traveling, reading in coffee shops, and doing jigsaw puzzles.
"Kindermusik staff are friendly and warm, helping my shy child feel appreciated and valued. I believe, due to the nature of the classes and interaction involved, he is surpassing expectations in speech and is no longer afraid to play with other children. Sharing, taking turns and listening are valuable skills learned while attending, so they are non-issues in our house - a HUGE benefit for any toddler! Plus hearing him sing is adorable. I attribute it all to Kindermusik with their professional and specifically geared guidance and fun teaching methods."
