A Letter from Barbara Cass-Beggs z"l to Rahel
Dear Rahel,
I wonder whether you realize what a tremendous job you have done. Without your insight and hard work and determination there would be no "Listen Like Learn Association" in Israel and no classes for children and babies who need them.
You are a very humble person and are capable of working for a cause (music for young children) which we all feel is worthwhile, but only you have made it possible to increase musical opportunities for our children.
To me, you are a very special person.
My love,
Barbara
** Barbara Cass-Beggs z"l (1904-1990), British/Canadian music education pioneer founded the "Listen Like Learn" and "Your Baby Needs Music" programs for infants to 7 yr. olds. Rahel worked closely with Barbara from 1986-1990 establishing the "Listen Like Learn Association" in Israel and setting up music programs around Israel. Contact Rahel to learn more about these fabulous programs and also about Dr. Betsy Diamant-Cohen's "Mother Goose on the Loose" program.
