Scotland

Scottish heritage through music and dance provides a fun and educational look at Scottish cultures as reflected in the Scottish heritage of folk songs and dance.   Students discover how Scottish immigration influenced the culture, customs, and history of North America.   Students participate throughout the program by singing along, learning about the Highland Bagpipes, Scottish dancing, and learning a 'wee bit' of Scottish Gaelic and Scottish dialect.

Ireland

Irish heritage through music and dance is an engaging way to encourage students to learn more about the history of North America ...and possibly their own heritage.   Students experience the songs, the dance, the instruments, and some magical Irish legends. Of course, we encourage everyone to wear green, but it's not mandatory....it's just fun!

Brazil

The Brazilian Cultural Arts in Education program provides a fun and educational look at the Brazilian culture, music and dance.  The purpose is to give students a cultural awareness of diversity in a positive and fun way.   Students will participate throughout the program by singing Brazilian children’s songs, hearing and playing the instruments of Brazilian music, learning the native language of Portuguese and participating in Gaucho dances from the South of Brazil and the samba from the North of Brazil.

This Morning Jennifer Licko performed for our k-2 grade students and our 3-5 grade students. Both performances were age appropriate and engaging. Jennifer provided information in a manner that each group could easily comprehend. Her musical selections were of an excellent quality. Not only did Jennifer know how to relate to our students, she was able to easily regain their attention following more participatory segments of her program. She arrived well in advance of the performances and was very well organized. I would strongly recommend her to other schools seeking to inform their students about North Carolina's Scottish heritage.

To Whom It May Concern,
On March 2, 2005, the students at Queens Creek Elementary School enjoyed an assembly by Jennifer Licko. Ms. Licko shared her knowledge of Scotland, as well as her incredible vocal talent with our students in two assembly programs, one for k-2nd grade and one for 3rd-5th grade. During the performances, Ms. Licko taught the students about Scottish culture and made connections to North Carolina heritage, as well. Students and staff members alike were captivated by her enthusiasm and her beautiful voice. Ms. Licko taught the students about Scottish instruments and dance and invited students to join her on stage for a short part of the assembly. I wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer Licko to your school and will be glad to answer any questions you may have regarding our experience.
Sincerely,
Jeannie Baker,
Principal
