For ALL ages Know as ‘jazz chants’; chants use repetition, rhythm, tempo and pattern to engage the right side of the brain’s musical intelligence.

Use of ‘multiple intelligence’ goes a long way to help learners speak English automatically.

Fun, creative, interactive learning to reinforce the use of the language.

Rhythmic helps the brain during the learning process The non-linear form of rhythm and patterns in chants are powerful brain waves Used to introduce & reinforce: grammar concepts, pronunciation, sentence structure, vocabulary & spelling in a fun and engaging way.

A fun opportunity to create collaborative & creative learning
