BONNIE Davison is
one music teacher whe
doesn’t mind if her
students sing off key.

“We make lots of noise,”
boasts the North Van music
therapist.

Davison, 26, is running a
preschool niusic program this
fall at North Shore
Neighbourhood House, 225
E. 2nd St., North Van.

Three ‘separate series for
kids aged three to five are
planned for Thursday morn-
ings, Sept. 25 through Dee.

To her knowledge, the
program is the only one of its
kind on the North Shore.

‘Talent is not an issue here.
Children cf all abilities are
encouraged to sign up. The
whole idea is to make music
fun, says Davison, who has a
Bachelor of Music degree
from Mt. Allison University
in New Brunswick and a
music therapy degree from
Capilano College.

“It’s a way to be with
other kids and improve social
skills,” she says.

Children bang drums, sing
songs and dance around, all
the while gaining self-esteem
and learning, te share and take
turns.

Davison, who teaches
music to the hearing impaired
at Vancouver Oral Cent
says children with special
needs are also encouraged to
enrol.

Class sizes are kept small,
with no more than six kids to
a session. The cost is $72 per
child
