Mission Statement: a child-enrichment program empowering children to make smart choices in challenging situations by teaching life-skills, character and safety, using music and dance.
A program for elementary grade children
Introduction
LifeNotes Edutainment (LNE) addresses important topics such as bullying and healthy eating in an educational program that uses music and song (auditory) and dance/performance routines (visual/physical), and interactive participation (arts and crafts) to inform and educate elementary school-age children and their families about life-skills, character-building and safety issues. Through a series of lessons involving interactive participation, arts and crafts and music, song and dance, the LifeNotes program is designed to empower young children in making smart choices in challenging circumstances.
Each lesson is based upon a topical song composed, recorded, choreographed, and performed by the LNE vocal group, with the assistance of Los Angeles based professionals in the music industry.
LifeNotes Edutainment Founder/Director Jacquie Sullivan began her career in the music industry after studying classical piano at USC. Her career as a singer includes radio and television commercials, solo artist, recording and performing with Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Cat Stevens, Michael Bolton, Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music, and Olivia Newton-John, among others. For a period of time, she taught Pop Performance classes at Citrus College in Glendora. She is an active composer, arranger and producer, as well as an instructor. Inspired by her concern for the vulnerabilities of children and her belief in the ability of music to teach, Jacquie began writing and recording songs about safety, and the concept of LifeNotes Edutainment was born.
