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 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).
I’ve released two compilation albums of my music, Journey to My World and Imagination Station, for streaming and digital download.

Early Childhood Education (E.C.E.)
For 10 years I instructed Early Childhood programs in nursery schools and day camps. I ran programs at a Library system in North York, giving classes
on music and the arts for ages 3-5.
I taught a 16 week program to E.C.E. undergraduates at Sheridan College (a community college that graduates E.C.E. teachers) on Sparking Creativity in children through music and the arts.
While recording albums and giving concerts across Canada, I presented to Faculties of Education in various Universities around the country.
I also published a music and activity book for children.

Don't underestimate what kids expect.
There’s a great deal about how kids feel about life around them, like the very clever bit from Rosalie’s song, “Mommy Get Off the Phone.” Listening to the songs makes kids feel like they are part of the whole scheme of things.
Helmer Biermann, The Evenings Times-Globe
Moscoe looks at life through the eyes of her audience.
Moscoe has discovered that children love the concept of time-traveling. . . and it is featured on her Imagination Station album. Like all her material, Moscoe balances entertainment with education.
Niagara Falls Review
Such celebration is contagious.
Rosalie establishes an immediate rapport because her music is a child’s exploration of the joys and frustrations of life including the embarrassment of such things as having “humungous feet.” Unlike the records of many children’s entertainers, the instrumentation goes beyond the customary strumming guitars. You hear bass lines, lead guitar riffs, and bluesy piano.
Rob Bostelaar, The Sault Star
Sweet music for children.
Every mother will relate to the songs because they’ve heard the words from their children since they could talk – Mommy Get Off the Phone, I’m Scared, I’m Still Okay, and Listen to Me.
Zena Cherry, The Globe and Mail
Strikes the right chord.
Rosalie's original music and songs can be the magic key to a child’s innermost thoughts, and a subtle educational tool in the development of self-esteem, human values, and love of life.
Vivienne Jones, Toronto Star
Feelings that need to be expressed.
In the albums most of the songs fall into four categories: those that deal with feelings, with identity, those that exploit the imagination, and just plain fun songs suitable for singing around a campfire.
Gary H. Paterson, Canadian Children’s Literature
The Cohn Theatre has never seen such a lack of decorum.
They were dancing in the aisles, climbing over chairs, and calling from row to row to their friends. Herman, the hand puppet told them all about his fears in, “I’m Scared.” The audience sang along with great gusto and the evening ended with one of Rosalie’s favorites, “Reach Out”.
