Gemini's Music
Brothers San and Laz Slomovits are my very favorite musicians for children.
Their music is a wonderful cultural mix and ranges from just plain fun and silly
to beautiful songs of peace and love.

Cathleen is currently seeking a publisher
for her book on Montessori education; its
transformative powers in unveiling the
potential of the child and creating a more
peaceful world.
