Primary Teacher Testimonial
“I had the pleasure of watching Nadia Cavallo perform at St Pat’s yesterday. Such an engaging and entertaining show! Even the grade 6 kids were up and dancing. I was worried my kids wouldn’t know enough of her songs but they are so catchy that all kids picked up the words and actions in a flash. Congratulations Nadia on making learning Italian so much fun for kids.”

Kinder Teacher Testimonial
“Last Wednesday we invited Nadia to come into our kinder group for a fun afternoon of singing and dancing. The children had a wonderful time singing Italian songs and dancing with Nadia. The songs were easy to follow and the children found them easy to remember and follow. Nadia was able to engage the children in dancing and they even got a tour of beautiful Italy through her amazing pictures.
Thank you Nadia and we hope to see you again.”
