Elizabeth Olson, Ph.D. is a retired Minneapolis Public Schools music teacher. Affirming Parallel Concepts™ is based on her dissertation research.

Ann C. Kay teaches an early childhood music class, directs a choir, and works for The Rock 'n' Read Project, a nonprofit dedicated to using singing to unlock children's potential for reading and learning.

MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC TEACHERS SAY:

Thank you for teaching one of the best classes I have ever taken! My kids...are still loving school and the singing is a big part of it. Their fluency has gone up.

Lincoln was #1 in the increase in phonemic awareness from fall to winter...al ALL the Minneapolis schools. Coincidence? I think not! I think singing!!!!!

When I applied singing...with my (H.S.) students, it was as if a bomb of enthusiasm had struck the class.

This has been the most helpful class that I have ever taken that has been offered during the school year...in all the classes I have taken over my 26-year career, this is the only class to which I have ever looked forward.
