Jan Harvey Music and Movement for Children, Kelowna, BC

Jan Harvey Kelowna

Jan Harvey's first career was teaching primary school in the Central Okanagan School District. She found herself instinctively using the power of music to enhance instruction in all her subjects.

In 1982, the at-home mom began a career in music education. She taught music for preschoolers at a downtown Kelowna music store, and her first class was made up of six four year olds. Jan's interest was piqued and she completed further training at the University of British Columbia and the Royal Conservatory of Music. Jan began to refine and develop a unique program for three to seven year olds and her reputation and register continued to grow.

The program begins with the music basics and culminates with group keyboard classes. Her program and her loving, dynamic and positive style have ensured success for thousands of children in future musical training.

Now with two hundred children enrolled in her programs each year and a long waiting list, Jan is acknowledged to be the best in her field. Jan continues to learn and create new material on a sound theoretical basis. Her goal is to motivate and develop the love of music in children. Jan has three grown children and a variety of interests and hobbies including winter sports, fitness, crafts, reading and hiking.
