[HANASHIR:5765] Re: a new resource

[Debbie Block <dblock55...>]

Dear Judy,
  I am a preschool music specialist in Atlanta.  I
just read your review.  When you say "young children",
does that include 3,4,and 5 year olds?  Obviously I
have to keep what I do quite simple.
  I am planning to attend Hava Nashira.   Will you be
there?
  Thank you, Debbie Block
