Lyra's dedication to music eduction led her to become the first and only Children's Music Director and Educator at the Community Unitarian Universalist Congregation at White Plains for four years, where she taught general music and how music has become a crucial tool of culture. With her strong belief that music should be accessible to all, she has taught violin, piano, and cello privately to students of all ages.
