About susan
I have a passion for children and the stories they love. I studied for my MA in Early Childhood Education at Teachers College and subsequently became a group teacher at the Medical Center Nursery School, an affiliate of Columbia University, in New York City. I have a particular interest in storytelling and use puppets to help tell stories to all of the children in the school. I have written and lectured about my work and am an affiliate member of the Bank Street Writer's Lab.
Louise Rogers and I combine jazz music, storytelling and improvisational theater techniques to teach young children music, literature and social skills. Our technique utilizes the ability of young children to learn most effectively through play as we "play" with jazz music and stories.
We have written and recorded three jazzy fairy tales and published a teachers guide for use with our CD.
