In addition to creating music, Meryl is also passionate about music education, giving others a way to express themselves through music. While in high school, she taught beginner guitar to children and adults. She also has experience as a song leader— guiding and teaching prayers through music—at her hometown synagogue in the Chicago area and synagogues in Boston. Meryl even co-wrote a nationwide-known version of the Sh’ma prayer called Sh’ma (You Shall Love) with her friends, Sam and Zach Powers. This version is sung at Jewish summer camps and synagogues across the country.
Meryl has released a series of Featuring EPs, including her song, I'd Run to the Moon, with over half a million streams on Spotify. These EPs are collections of Meryl’s original music featuring different artists and musicians to highlight the various voices and genres for which she loves to write. Not only did she “cast” (as Meryl likes to call it) the artists for the project, but also she produced and arranged the songs, recorded demos, organized rehearsals and recording sessions, and performed acoustic guitar on all of the songs. Collaboration with other artists, musicians, and creators has always been an important part of Meryl's musical journey.
