Our region O.M. (Odyssey of the Mind) committee recognizes Nancy’s creative genius. Her unique humor and ability to communicate with all levels speaks clearly to her own personal celebration of life. Her gift is to be shared, as she is one of those special caretakers of our collective childhood fantasy.

I was amazed at how quickly my six year old son caught on to the words of Nancy’s songs. Repeating is so important for the young mind today. He questioned different parts of her song to grasp more understanding. Tanner wanted to know how she could “sew” seeds in her garden … he said “I sew buttons and I sew patches but ­­­­­she “sews” seeds?” So we made flash cards –Now he gets it! Tanner also entertains his brothers, Trey four years and Spencer two years old, by putting on his sunglasses and doing Nancy’s Cat and Mouse act. The boys loved it – we then talked about how a person can take on many roles. What a language experience for my own six-year-old son and my fourth graders! Nancy was able to capture a wide range of learners -- hats off to Nancy for offering this unique learning style.

The enrichment and love of music Ms. Tucker brings to each school class or student is phenomenal. The benefits of her work with the students will be felt long after she leaves.

Nancy Tucker genuinely engages kids. Her music, stories, and anecdotes build self-esteem, good feelings, and an appreciation of life. Everyone leaves her concert happy!

I want you to know that I greatly appreciated your talents, but appreciated even more the rapport you established with our children. I am a strong proponent of children being outstanding critics. You received rave notices.
~ William Pallombella, Principal, Waterman School, Skaneateles, NY 

The students were talking about you for days afterwards. Everyone was impressed with your beautiful voice and what seemed such ease in performing in front of an audience. We all felt like a part of the performance, not like we were being sung to.
~ Jaqueline Zachary, Conard High School, Hartford, CT.

Nancy Tucker has a special magic that reaches into the heart of every child. She also has the ability to bring out the child that resides within each adult. She is fun, witty, entertaining, and spreads joy wherever she goes.
