Bio
Musical communication for children at a young age provides a connecting link which enhances future learning skills in every aspect of a child’s life,” says Jackie. “By tapping into children’s hidden talents early on, we can strengthen and solidify a foundation of confidence, embracing their excitement, and expanding their imagination. For children, music is a vehicle through which their thoughts, emotions, experiences, and triumphs can be expressed with truth and clarity. When fun is mixed in, the result is ‘wanting’ to sing, play, and practice music.
