ABOUT THE COMPOSER

Composer and Montessori Music & Drama Teacher Mark Woodward loves to inspire communities through the powerful medium of musical theater.

Mark has over 12 years experience teaching music and drama in the Montessori environment, and is the Music & Drama Director at Montessori Academy in Brentwood, TN.

After years of teaching students and wanting a way to better explain the genius of the Montessori Method to their parents, he created one.

Groups of students from Montessori Academy have performed scenes and medleys from the show at various Montessori conferences hosted by American Montessori Society, the Southeastern Montessori Collective, the International Montessori Council, and the Montessori Alliance of Tennessee. Maria Montessori: The Musical was also featured on the cover of Montessori Life Magazine.

Mark lives with his wife and co-producer Faith and their six beautiful children in Nashville, TN.
