"Julie engaged LRCC students in an hour of interactive singing, movement, and rhythm activities," says Kibbee who met Wirth through an Early Childhood workshop at Southern New Hampshire University. "Research shows that music improves learning, brain development, and social skills development. My students were enthralled by Julie's workshop and are excited to put Ms. Wirth's practices to work."
