Jazzles
Jazzles is a memory powered, animated-song-themed Beginning English Program that engages today’s technology hyped children.
Optimum self-learning learning occurs because Visual, Kinetic and Aural learning styles are engaged simultaneously with every Visual and Performing Arts interaction.
Why Jazzles?
Music and singing make children feel happy.
Stress free, happy children learn.
Disruptive children focus.
We’ve all experienced the ‘memory power’ of music and singing for remembering language.
While happily practising Oral English, alliterative language synchronizes with expressive cartoons and highlighted subtitles.

Hi! I’m Lesley Beth
I am a Sydney, Australia-based artist, educator and song writer of upbeat, imaginative educational songs.
When I compose, I use musical hooks, key changes and a mix of jazzy, musical styles so the listener is constantly surprised and engaged with each tune . Children love alliteration, but for my Jazzles Alphabet songs, alliteration was a deliberate strategy so children could effortlessly learn initial sound fluency because of the power of musical memory.
I was delighted when the American Library Association Booklist Magazine gave my first release, Jazzles Alphabet Songs, the thumbs up saying, “Happily, the songs rarely settle for common alphabetical clichés. Musically, the selections are outstanding.”
Transformed into alliteratively subtitled, music cartoons , Jazzles Animations engage non-English speaking and 'ready to read’ children in fun learning of all 6 Beginning Reading Skills AND Oral English Language skills. There's no need to choose between a Phonics and Whole Language Program because I'm proud to say that Jazzles combines both!
Jazzles Animations launch my Jazzles Beginning English Method. Song-themed, Lesson Guides and Activity Pages develop Communication, Reading and Writing with creative Visual and Performing Arts that children love.
