A Forest Full of Music

Suzan Overmeer is a Dutch music teacher and founder of the Jazz4kids foundation, which aims to introduce children to jazz music. She also performs with the Jazz4kids band in concerts at schools and theaters throughout the Netherlands. When not teaching kids about jazz, Suzan teaches college students as the head of Music Education at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. In 2015 she published her first children’s book, I’m Pink, a poetry book for young children. Suzan lives with her husband and two children in a small village near The Hague. After receiving a teaching degree at Minerva Art Academy in Groningen, in the north of the Netherlands, Myriam Berenschot spent time teaching art and drawing to children. Now she’s so busy creating illustrations for children’s books and educational materials, that she doesn’t have time to teach. In her drawings and photography she likes to take a closer look at everyday things. Myriam still lives in Groningen with her husband and two daughters.
