Artist Bio
Jeffrey Sadow
Musician, Wolf Trap Teaching Artist
Since 1980, Jeffrey has worked with children in the Phoenix-metro area. He has worked 17 of the last 22 years in the classrooms as a Wolf Trap artist. In 2004, he released “In My Garden,” an original children’s CD. And for 22 years, he has served as a music specialist in two Valley schools.
Jeffrey has always enjoyed teaching young children with the basic elements of music (rhythm, itch/tone, dynamics, tempo, timbre) in mind, all of which directly pertains to learning and pre-academics. In recent years, he has incorporated more STEM Arts learning into the Wolf Trap curriculum, with a particular emphasis on math and science.
