What people are saying...
As the Director of a childcare service I am often approached by companies seeking to provide services and I was so happy when Jacqueline phoned me and conveyed the wonderful music program that she was teaching, for it has been just that - wonderful!
Soundplay has provided fun, developmentally age appropriate and exciting music classes for the children attending our baby room right through to our pre-school children. The families and educators have seen the benefits as the children have grown not only in their musical awareness, but also their confidence.
This connection with Soundplay over several years has been immeasurable and Jacquelines dedication and passion is evident.

The centre considers themselves to be fortunate to be able to participate in the ( Soundplay) program. This year our under 3 year olds and nursery have been involved. The parents have been excited about the children's partticipation and in what they have been bringing home. (Soundplay) exposes the children to a professional session that fits in perfectly with the Early Years Learning Framework.

Thank you Jacque for all your enthusiasm and the love of music you have brought to our centre. Not only have you been able to impart your musical knowledge but you have also encouraged the team to bring music into the program and use it confidently. Staff now use music throughout their day to transition children, help children learn good practices in washing hands and packing away and learn concepts while at play- even making up their own songs.
Exploring music has been a very useful team building exercise that has brought fun, laughter and a more relaxed and happy atmosphere over the whole centre. Staff have connected with each other in more meaningful ways which has also allowed for better communication overall.
I love to hear the staff and children sign during their day. Everyone has benefited from your on the job staff training. Thank you for introducing staff to the Ukuleles, I love hearing the ukuleles bring played in the staff room at lunch times when staff jam together and then this being transferred into the play environment. We can’t wait to learn some more songs from your online lessons.

An end of term gift from the wonderful kids at Gardiner Early Education Centre. We've been running Soundplay with them now for almost 12 months and every class is seriously more fun than the last! Such and awesome group of teachers and kids!
Lucy has been fantastic with the children. They all respond so well to the songs choices and I like how they are asked what songs they wany to sing. I highly recommend Soundplay as I think the children really respond well and Lucy is fantastic ( gentle, confident and welcoming) wih the children.

My daughter has asked to play the ukulele and guitar at home. She also gets excited about playing drums on boxes or anything I get out that can be made into a drum for her. She knows some songs I haven't taught her - not sure if that's your class or the library or both but she is singing a lot! I get her excited about Tuesdays by reminding her it's "music day". I think education about different instruments is really helpful and rhythm and beats and feeling the music is so important

The preschoolers at Gardiner Early Education Centre love Jacqueline Freeman's Soundplay music classes and eagerly look forward to her visit every Thursday morning. The classes are very well planned, offering just the right mix of music and movement to keep the children engaged from start to finish. Jacqueline has a wonderful way with children and an infectious enthusiasm for music. We have been impressed by the variety of educational activities she manages to include in each lesson and there is no doubt that the children's musical abilities are blossoming as a result.

The children in our 2 - 3yrs group are always excited to join in with th music group and dancing. It is very interactive. They join in with singing and dancing and ask for different songs. The music teacher works with the teacher in the room asking about what we are focusing on and learning n the room. This is then involved in the music program. Oarents love seeing what the children do b wacthing the facebok photo's and videos

Jacque had the attention and interest of all the children from the very 1st moment. Jacque coveres a wide range of content including movement, song and percussion. The children were involved in learning so many different skills across literacy, maths and gross/fine motor. And of course all the teachers get to learn as well.
Thanks Jacque.

Great variety of music. The elements of sound, voice and music are included to make the experience holistic and capture all the children's interests and skills.
Jacque has a great rapport with the kids. Her personality makes her a favourite with the class and her work experience ( in remote Indigenous comunities ) adds another brilliant ellement of cultural respect to the class.
