TESTIMONIALS

C. GIORDANO,

Cincinnati. OHIO

I wanted to express my thanks for your wonderful jazz workshops during the Saturday morning sessions of the OMEA Conference...I bought your book "The Flying Jazz Kittens" and began using it with mu Kindergarten students this week.  They already love scat singing...your approach has lifted the veil of mystery surrounding (jazz).

I just want to  let you know that I've been doing a jazz unit with your book and it's been AWESOME. The kids love it and are successful!!!

T. TORRENS, Dallas TX

I wanted to let you know  about how much fun me and my students had with your Book/CD last spring. We used it as a Jazz unit and I had the whole school scatting! We also used your blues tracks and scales as a starting point for improvisation on barred instruments. Keep the good stuff coming!

P. PATNODE

I  just wanted to take a minute and let you know how I'm having with my K-6 kids using your ideas from the recent IAJE conference...I've started with "Swingin' the Blues Away " and incorporating your ideas into it. It's so much fun to see these little guys learning to enjoy jazz. Your stuff makes it so much easier to teach than a lot of other methods and materials.
