I think I have as much fun as the kids do, and they seem to absolutely love it.... The classes are still going wonderfully! I really couldn't have done it without you! Thank you!

[I used] parts of your program with my younger students last year. They enjoyed the music and I appreciated how things were laid out and yet flexible at the same time. Teachers with little experience would benefit from the clear instructions and experienced teachers can still use the materials but add their own "twists".

My teachers have found the World Music and Rhythm Talk programme easy to follow because of the detailed instructions. The children enjoy the activities and they like being given the opportunity to play different instruments each time. Through the programme, they learn, besides music, turn taking, sharing and following instructions. Generally, the programme offers a lot. However, it is imperative that the teacher knows how to modify some of the activities to suit the abilities of the children taught.

“Maria has been coming to our childcare centre to teach music for 3 years. The biggest testimonial comes directly from the children, they cheer when she comes in the room, they are so excited to have her for music. Maria’s program is very age appropriate and enjoyable for the children. The program is interactive and gross motor related. The children really enjoy their music class.”

“Maria, I have to say your music is fantastic! Max is always excited for music day at GraceNote. Very rarely does your CD leave our player. Max loves it & I love knowing all the songs he gets to sing at daycare. Now we can sing them as a family. Thank-you!”

“Maria has been teaching our daughter music for 3 years now, and we couldn’t be more pleased. My daughter Charlotte has come home from day-care singing new songs and talking about instruments that Maria has exposed her and her class-mates to. I believe that our daughter’s day-care experience has been truly enriched due to Maria’s dedication and love of music and children.”

“I have known Maria as a music teacher for many years and have been impressed by her engaging and playful way of involving students in music activities. Whether singing, playing, or dancing to the music of other countries, her new preschool music program, World Music and Rhythm Talk, is a “MUST” for any Early Childhood Educator.”
