Linette’s work with the Simple Gift Series Team has been a true gift as she watches first hand the positive transformative power that music, singing, dancing, and reading have on the whole child and brain development.

She believes music and early literacy are something all caretakers and schools need to tap into starting at the youngest age possible.
