“ Grandma & Grandpa” which she plays at TOP volume. (I also know all the songs by heart!)

“...As a First Grade teacher, I am looking forward to enriching many of my units with individual songs from the album. Good luck to you all. You have some educational and fun songs to share.”
Beverly Wills, 1st Grade Teacher South Whidbey School District

“In my 12 years of teaching elementary music, I have rarely heard a children’s album of this quality. The storytelling style … gives the listener a sense of connection to the performers and the message of each song has strong family and environmental values. This (CD) helps raise the standards of music appreciation, something I believe this country needs more of. The “CAN DO!” album can truly enhance the minds of children (and adults)!”
Kim Morris, Elementary Music Specialist South Whidbey School District

“Kiwanis is very concerned about our youth and we feel that the Can-Do-Kids album can be very instrumental in helping young children to build self-esteem.” South Whidbey Kiwanis

“... I liked the attention to environmental and safety concerns and the message that children CAN empower themselves to do or be what they want to be. My training as an early childhood professional ... includes positive, self-esteem and the “Can Do!” attitude that is pushed so much on the CD. I suggest that this album be marketed to families.”
Esther Iles, Teacher, So. Whidbey Children’s Center/Child Development Associate

“... the music is lively, emphasizes a positive attitude and key subjects with each song, like our ecosystem, the importance of our grandparents, and safety among strangers. Each song seems to be written to stimulate positive introspection about foundational subjects for children. The encouragement of a CAN DO attitude in such an easy-to-understand, enjoyable format so vital to our youth.”
Fred Geisler, President & CEO, Body America, Inc.

“ I suggest the album be used for bus drivers for elementary students ... my own children want the album” Julie Staley (Mother of 12 and 9 year old)

“The album would be a good teaching tool for pre-school aged children .” (Bill Shia, grandparent of 3) yr.old)
