Taylor Kent

Music Teacher

Taylor Kent was born in the mountains of Virginia, where she lived with her family until they moved to Hilton Head when she was 10. Taylor attended Hilton Head Preparatory School before returning to Virginia to complete her Bachelors from Ferrum College. A music lover from a very young age, Taylor began to write her own songs and perform publicly at the age of 5. She has since been lucky to sing and play across the lowcountry for years with her instrument of choice, the guitar. Taylor has been teaching music in various forms since 2013. When she is not performing, Taylor is an avid yogi and enjoys spending time by the water. She is thrilled to be a part of the Montessori team, and is ever looking forward to spreading and sharing her love of music.
