Bob Mayo
Bob is a recently retired school speech language pathologist who specialized in classroom activities for the preschool populations of Head Start/K3 through K5. Music had always been part of his personal life and as an educator he has seen the joy it brought into the classroom and how a child's potential to recall and retain information was enhanced once they became "melodically engaged" in the activity. Since retiring, he has dedicated himself to the writing, organizing, rewriting, and finally recording of many of the academic lessons he had put into rhyme and song over the past 30 years. He continues to volunteer on a weekly basis (when not out golfing) in the Head Start classroom of his old school, performing his music for future generations of learners.
