Jacinta is a gifted music teacher and is well respected by children, parents and staff of the center. She is absolutely passionate about music and her love for the art is evident in her enthusiastic and energetic teaching. She is always well prepared, her monthly program planners are prepared in advance to be posted for the parents and staff to observe. Jacinta prepares her music according to the theme of the month: Spring/Easter, Chinese New Year, Valentines, Black History, and much more. She s exceedingly patient with all children, encourages and coaxes the very best effort from each. 1 am tremendously grateful to her for her great music skills and the joy she has given our children at the center. It is my pleasure to recommend Jacinta Claudio for any children's programs.

Jacinta has always shown many of the key skills to provide a rich and organized music program to our school students. She has proven to be responsible, punctual and is consistently caring towards the children. She provides a varied and well suited program with many instruments and songs taking the time to get to know the students, learn their names and interact with them in a way that is meaningful. The students have  responded positively to having her in the classroom and for these reasons I would not hesitate in recommending Jacinta for any children music programs.

When dealing with the children Jacinta uses positive reinforcement and appropriate guidance strategies. She is successfully able to adapt her music program to the cues and individual needs of the thildren. She is always seeking new ways to improve her teaching skills.

Jacinta's planning was impeccable...activities reflected the musical development of the children as well as their individual developmental levels...her classes were filled with beautiful music which helped the children develop their sense of musical aesthetics.
