Maya

We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.
Introduction xxxxxCheerful, bubbly, still starry-eyed despite the trials the city's gone through. Usually keen on trying to help other people find that cheer, too, which can lead to a tendency to be kind of meddlesome when she thinks people need cheering-up. History xxxxxMaya's had a pleasantly charmed life, born the youngest of three children to an Indian immigrant couple -- both parents doctors, they're not /rich/ but have certainly never been /hurting/ for money. She did well in school but didn't have the stomach for the years of med school her parents (and older sister, and older brother) went through; instead as the /black sheep/ of the family, she went into the (flighty!) career of music. Not so much as a professional musician as as a music /teacher/; she has a love for children and a love for /spreading/ cheer and these things worked great together. xxxxxShe teaches currently at LaGuardia High School in their instrumental program, and volunteers on the side with a small after-school program she started to help bring the arts to underfunded schools. Skills xxxxxMaya can cook Indian food like a boss. She is fluent in Bengali and Spanish, and is pretty good at yoga. Her real talents lie in music, where she plays piano (excellently), cello (pretty well!), and a whole range of other instruments commonly found throughout your average music program at your average American high school. She dabbles in composing, but teaching is her real love. xxxxxShe has a B.F.A. from Juilliard, and a Master's on top of that with a focus on education; she's only been teaching for a year and a half, since graduating, but she loves it. xxxxxShe knows Manhattan like the back of her hand and is pretty excellent at bike repair from riding her bike around /everywhere/.
