Jo O'Donnell
Hi! My name is Jo. I am based in Sydney to co-ordinate the NSW branch. I bring the Rocking Horse Music program to children and their parents/carers in this room each week.
My musicianship skills include: vocal, choral, piano, accompanying, guitar, violin, composition, arranging, scoring, improvisation and an understanding of the basic music elements to be taught in early childhood.
Over the past 20 years I have been able to develop these skills in a variety of child care, school, community and music studio settings.
I have always been very involved in the music education of my own 4 children as I consider music an ideal medium to develop their character and ability.
I believe all children have ability, that their learning environment should be secure, stimulating and joyful, that it should allow them the joy of self-initiated learning and that music is for everyone.
