“Betsy Q”

                                    Concerts for Preschools and Daycare Centers

For children, Betsy Q is a friend with a great message. For parents, she’s a stress reliever…and for teachers, she’s a classroom resource.  Betsy Q is a professional musician, songwriter and performer of children’s music. She writes all of her own songs and performs them in an upbeat, interactive concert. Using a keyboard and drum machine in her shows as well as prerecorded instrumentation from her cd’s, she moves around the stage and into the audience, captivating them with her unique style. For over 17 years, Betsy Q has been performing for children and their families in schools, libraries and family events. Her music focuses on rhythm, easy melodies, and repetition and she encourages the audience to sing along.

Betsy Q provides her own professional sound system, which takes about 2hours to set up and an hour to tear down. Each performance is about 50 minutes long.

For Preschools and Daycare centers: Betsy Q has thrilled audiences in preschools and daycare centers all over the state and beyond. She has performed concerts during the day for the children and she has performed for family nights at these centers as well. It’s a great time for the whole family!!

Her educational, interactive concerts keep everyone singing and doing motions with the songs. She also invites children onto the stage with her sometimes and even invites teachers and/or parents to join her too!! The children love that. Even 2 year olds can pick it up easily, as her music has easy melodies and some repetition that a child finds easy to grasp. Not only is it educational, but fun too! Her music has been noted to be a favorite for children of all ages and the parents love it too. Preschools have been using the music as an educational tool and the teachers use the cd’s in the classroom. Betsy Q believes that music is a great resource for teaching children about the environment, self-esteem, science, the community, and patriotism.

Style Weekly has selected Betsy Q as one of the “Best Entertainers” in Richmond.   With over 30 years of experience, Betsy Q started out as a rock and roll musician and songwriter, performing in venues and colleges up and down the east coast.
