“I really enjoy the connections that develop through the shared music experience over the long term, between adult-child, child-child and child-teacher.
The journey to independence is a fascinating process as children find their own voice.” ~Jill
"My
two children have participated in the Macquarie University Early Childhood
Music Program for 2 - 5 year olds under the expert teaching and guidance
of Jill. Jill's multi-talent abilities of singing, playing a variety of
instruments and early childhood education make her a very qualified and
valued music teacher. My children have flourished under her auspices and
really enjoy music in all forms: singing, dancing and playing instruments.
I would recommend any child to participate in one of Jill's classes learning
rhythm, pitch etc in an environment full of fun and creativity."

"Jill
has taught my daughter as part of the Macquarie University's Institute
of Early Childhood's Music Program for Children, both when she was a two
year old and four year old. On both occasions, my daughter has found her
engaging and fun to have as a music teacher. As a parent and fellow music
educator, Jill has a great manner with the children of all ages. Her programs
are thorough and interesting, sequential and challenging, yet achievable
so as to foster the love, enjoyment and creativity of music. Thanks for
a great start to another young person's musical
life Jill!"
