"Wow Lynn,
Thank you SO much for sharing at the Heart of America Orff chapter. I teach K-5 and had lost a lot of the joy in teaching kindergarten music. After your workshop, I was so fired up and couldn’t wait for my kindergarten classes! I really appreciate the many ideas for incorporating orchestral music, transition music, templates for manipulatives and lots of movement ideas.
THANK YOU!"

"Hi Lynn,
I just wanted to write you to let you know that I loved using your JUNGLE BEAT (book with accompanying music CD) as a resource for summer camp. One of the themes I selected this year (for summer camp) was the jungle, and I had so much fun using your book. We made the Jungle Safari Vests and binoculars. Afterwards we went on a safari, where the kids found hidden treasures. The snack on that day was 'Monkey Dogs' (recipe from the book), yummy."

"Lynn is the 'Peter Pan' of early childhood music educa- tion, spreading her musical magic that celebrates the child in each one of us. Lynn presents musical ideas that really work with young children."

Dr. Ellen M. Brabson
University of New Mexico


"Lynn, every time I see you present, I am taken by your delightful play. You think of such wonderful ways to engage children. I am also impressed with the way your lessons seem to flow, much like a music composition, with a beginning, and development, a climax, and a coda. It is so beautiful to watch."

Susan Kenney
MENC Chair, BYU School of Music


"Lynn presented an absolutely outstanding workshop for the Seattle Evergreen Orff Chapter! She instructs with such delight and grace and makes learning truly fun for all!"

Sonya Yeager, Music Teacher,
Gig Harbor, WA


"I really appreciate Lynn's spirit! I always try to get to Lynn's sessions at the Music Educators conferences because I leave feeling uplifted by her music, her spirit, and her desire to love and teach music to children. 'Run, Run & Children's March' from Kids Can Listen, Kids Can Move are favorites of my little ones!"

Keith Robinson
Koennecke Elementary School, Texas

"I saw Lynn Kleiner at the CMEA conference in Sacramento. Thank you Lynn. You are fantastic. I love every activity you taught us!"

Esperanza R. Flaquer-Lynch
