Testimonials

  • Thank you for everything on Saturday!! I did the book today in class and the K and 1st graders LOVED IT!! The GIFs were definitely a highlight. I had them use tape on paper and they created their own patterns. I see them twice a week, so I will be putting their patterns together to create a movement ostinato between the melody. Thank you for such wonderful ideas! I love how organized and rich your resources were on Saturday, and thank you for the wonderful conference!

  • I love watching you teach because you always give much more than lessons... they are creative experiences.

    Workshop Participant

  • Workshopping with you is an absolute joy. You cultivate a curiosity and enthusiasm to "dig in" and explore the elements of each story, song, and activity, all in a soft-spoken demeanor that builds safety and trust. I love how your lessons are both gems that can be introduced on Monday morning, and jumping-off points to explore and return to over time.
