Luke McLaughlin

Luke joined JAMaROO Kids in 2023 as a full time music teacher with a BFA in Computer Arts from the Academy of Art University. His musical journey began at the age of 12 when he first picked up his trusty guitar. From that moment on, music became an inseparable part of his life and his lifelong devotion to the world of music began.

Luke is a seasoned educator with over 12 years of experience teaching and working with young children. Luke brings a unique blend of enthusiasm and passion to his role as a music teacher. He previously taught 2 years of preschool at Kids Club in Scotts Valley and also worked at various afterschool childcare centers, summer camps, and day camps via the YMCA.

When Luke isn’t teaching, he enjoys watching football and working on his podcast about the San Francisco 49ers. He also likes to cook and write songs in his spare time.

When Luke was asked what he loves about teaching for JAMaROO Kids and working with children, he responded with, “teaching music classes at JAMaROO Kids is gratifying work. When I see the children smile as we explore music together, it warms my heart and challenges me to be the very best teacher I can be!”
