Special Needs Instructor

Jane Simmons also provides lessons to the special needs population. She has worked with children, teens and adults with Down Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder and Seizure Disorder who have wanted to become better singers, either for personal pleasure, to perform at school events, family events and/or to record at a professional recording studio. This has provided both the students and their parents/family with an opportunity to forget their daily struggles and enjoy creating new happy memories.
