Testimonial

Dear Jennifer,
I wanted to express my appreciation for your
recent performance at Northeast Elementary
School here in Pikeville, NC.  You gave a very
thorough presentation and kept attention
levels up for all ages, students and teachers alike. 
I particularly noticed how well you maintained positive discipline throughout your time with each group. 
I heard more compliments and positive comments
about your performance than I have for any other
visiting artist - individual or group - that we have
had in quite a few years.  In fact, I have not heard
even one negative comment - in the complex,
stressful and diverse world of teachers, that is
quite a feat!  Thanks again for a very educational
and enjoyable presentation.

Testimonial

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.

Testimonial

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.
