Play Broadway as defying gravity from the musical Wicked and beauty and the beast out of the game by the same name, Rebecca shared her talent with the youngest students of the school-the children of the early education Centre (EEC).

EEC Assistant principal Margaret Dick came up with the idea to high school students invite to play in both the Centre learning pods.

"Musical appreciation is started before the children are born, and the longer we expose them to music, the more they learn to appreciate. Part of our role of the education of the child is to inform and to discover opportunities for children, "she said.

"They were able to explore in their hearts and minds this new experience. They were able to deal with scarves and ribbons to the music and some wanted to draw pictures while they listened. Some wanted to see how the music was produced. This was a rich learning experience for all children ".

But the setting other than its usual performance include, even Rebecca with Dick on the music of the role – by means of making or listening to it-plays in educating a child. "I've always listened to music. I go to concerts together with my family and watching live performances. So I know it is worth it if they (children) with young can begin, enjoy it, think about what music means and how can you people feel through music ".

The teachers and staff will not formal lessons about playing instruments on any time soon but according to Dick that the most important thing is that children's music as something that is going on in their life, as normal as the countless variety of activities that the Centre offers them under the creative curriculum experience.

"I believe the children learned that music is produced by a person and instrument. For most of them this is a new concept and I think this would be the first experience of that the children have had this. If we keep doing this with different musicians, then the children will experience a number of different instruments and different sounds they all make, "said Dick.
