   “Permit me to add my appreciation to that already expressed by a long list of other members of the Peabody community for your stellar presentation last week during the Vanderbilt Martin Luther King, Jr. Lecture Series.  Your fusion of music, movement, and speech conveyed not only a powerful message, but modeled for us as well how to reach out to children in a way that is engaging, inclusive, and just plain fun!”
