Testimonials
"It's not easy to take a higher-level topic, such as sound, and bring it to a [kindergarten] level that was so easy for the students to see AND understand. You really are a Master Teaching Artist!"
- Jenny Morrell, Kindergarten Teacher, Andover Elementary, Andover, CT
Thank you for doing such a marvelous job on the Heritage Corridor Songs Project. The performance at Windham Middle School was a truly exhilarating experience, one I'll not forget for a long time. It was a powerful demonstration of using the arts to interpret natural and cultural heritage.

I use songwriting to connect to Math. But I also use quilt design to deal with geometrical concepts.
