Songs in the Key of C: Music that Reinforces the Curriculum, Nurtures Creativity and Builds Community Values
The songs children hear can help them learn. In this presentation, Vincent showcases his original, award-winning, interactive music for children, highlighting  curriculum components, inspiring creative thinking and building community values. Among the curriculum topics included are tools for early literacy and numeracy, fire safety, sensory exploration and cultural diversity. Simplified sign language and gestures are demonstrated for many of the songs.

Building a Better Community Song by Song
Community values are shared in early childhood, shaping young lives from the very beginning. Vincent performs his multiple award-winning, original, interactive songs to assist early childhood professionals to enrich children's learning experiences as they encounter shared values, such as racial tolerance, cultural diversity, harmony with our environment, cooperation, teamwork, and gender equity.

Let's Sing that Again!  New Songs for the Teacher's Toolbox
Every class or playroom has it's tools, everything from blocks to paints, puppets to pencils.  In this presentation Vincent gives early childhood professionals another implement for their toolboxes: music — interactive, original songs from a multiple-award winning songwriter. This is music which enhances and enriches children's learning, whether academic or social. And best of all, Vincent's songs are fun, entertaining and catchy.

Children's Music that Works as Hard as You Do
Early childhood professionals have a difficult task. In a short amount of time, they are charged with teaching a specific curriculum agenda, as well as introducing certain  socialization skills. Vincent gives teachers and caregivers a much needed assist: a pocketful of original, award-winning, interactive songs which playfully help to introduce (among other things) the building blocks of literacy, numeracy, pattern recognition, memory development and social interaction.
   
Sing, Shake and Sign with Vincent
In this presentation Vincent emphasizes interactivitiy, singing songs which invite  participants to get up off their seats and move. Vincent's original, multiple-award winning songs introduce participants to catchy melodies, fun and easy movements and simple signs and gestures to encourage interactive participation in the development of a learning community.
