If you offer children fun and love, they’ll respond.
In my 23 years of working with children and music, in nursery schools, elementary schools, day camps and library programs, and then performing in theaters and concert halls, I discovered music’s power to reach and teach children.
My mission is to make kids feel good about themselves; to help them build self-confidence through musical themes and through overall synergy.
My work follows the essence of good children’s music as envisioned by my dear friend, teacher of communications, producer, and advisor Jean Harrison. My songs promote self-expression, relationship-building skills, listening skills, awareness of values, and insight into possibilities and options.
Ron Harrison, Jean’s husband, a film composer in his own right, served as arranger for three of my albums. Also, their son, David Harrison, served as arranger for one of the albums. Ron and David’s expertise made my music rock!
I’ve recorded 5 children’s albums and was nominated for two Juno (Canadian Music) awards for Best Children’s Album (Listen to Me 1981, Jim and Rosalie At the Music Factory 1982). Also, I published a music and activity book for children.
I’ve released two compilation albums of my music, Journey to My World and Imagination Station, for streaming and digital download.
