LESLEY BETH
How It Happened
The Lesley Beth has used her talents as an early childhood educator, songwriter, musician and artist to make learning a creative, positive experience. Knowing the neuro-science-proven, memory-power of music, she chose to launch her educational projects with the joy music and singing.
American Library Association Booklist Magazine gave Lesley Beth’s first release, Jazzles Alphabet Songs, the thumbs up by saying, “Happily, the songs rarely settle for common alphabetical clichés. Musically, the selections are outstanding.”
Based on these animated, alliterative songs, she developed the Jazzles Beginning English Program - effortlessly engaging all students learning to communicate, read and write with her creative, song-themed Visual and Performing Arts Activities.
Proving to be both entertaining and educational, her environmental Sea Albums Swishy Friends and Oceans of Wonder followed -
Lesley Beth sees beyond the music, she sees what the people listening to her songs can do once her songs have touched them.
Lesley Beth is also the author and illustrator of 2 Children’s Picture Books – TANTRUMMY TESS and TAZZLE–No Ordinary Tiger.
