misc_none 10:30 AM  -  11:15 AM Charlie Hope Music Concert for Preschoolers   Download Event Info Tell a Friend
    Enjoy an interactive musical concert for preschoolers.

Charlie Hope spent her childhood in Toronto and Boston harmonizing with her sister and in her school choirs. As she grew she discovered the joys of writing music as well, and it became a powerful outlet for her to express her feelings. For Charlie, music should empower not only the creator, but also the listener.

Her fresh approach to children's music stems from the many years she has spent with children - from receiving her degree in Art Therapy with Children to the preschools and private homes she has served. From all her experiences Charlie believes that music is vital to a child's well-being.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the West Windsor Library.
