When young children are in a safe and fun setting with interactive learning, their minds are more open to learning and enjoying what they learn. Many children do not feel comfortable learning to read, write, or learn music in larger groups. When they are in smaller groups, and the learning content is colorful and interactive, they might feel more confident in their abilities and be able to take that confidence back into the mainstream classroom.
Jenna addressed this issue by developing an interactive curriculum that proves to produce the most positive impact when used with a small group of children and hosting classes at Music on the Westside. The elementary students she worked with gained the basic writing and piano skills needed to adequately express themselves.
She also created the "Rainbow Writers Creating Music" YouTube channel to share her curriculum with the world.
“Soraya Yavari, my global project advisor, has received my project curriculum/video and has announced plans of implementing my curriculum with her young students in Brussels, Belgium at the Roots and Wings Primary School. My video has been shared with other international contacts as well. I believe that my YouTube video also serves as a national/global link since it has been made accessible, via YouTube's education tab, to anyone anywhere in the world. Dr. Patty O'Sullivan, my second project advisor and founder of Envision Your Future, has also been meeting with me on a monthly basis to discuss my project's impact. She has invited me to become a part of Envision Your Future's emerging Advisory Board where I will have the space to continue sharing my project's impact with local and national educators..”
