Here’s What Others Who Have Taken Marnie’s Workshop had to Say:

 

It’s hard to say which part of today’s program was the best. Marnie’s stories were good and I really enjoyed the songs. I really liked that Marnie didn’t just rush us through every song. She took the time to show us the actions and even had no problem repeating them so that we would be able to remember better. Thank You Marnie, you did a great job, and I enjoyed your performance immensely!!

~ Georgia Bruyel

The whole program you presented was a joy and pleasure. Lots of fun, full of ideas, songs, rhymes, actions, and was 100% the very best I have had the pleasure to hear, see and participate in. I have already used I Yi Yippee and the Kangaroo Song with my 3-5 year olds and they (and I) LOVED it! … Thank you SO much, you are terrific!

~ Gail Segnoe, Librarian, Osoyoos B.C.

I’ve been running low on songs to sing, so this will freshen up my program.
