Cozy Music is a fun-filled, interactive music performance for young children that entertains as well as educates. Cosima [koh-zee-mah] has performed for many years with her well-known father, Jack Grunsky, as a singer-songwriter. She plays the guitar, ukulele, hand drum, dulcimer and a variety of other instruments from around the world.
Cosima demonstrates a mixture of traditional and original songs with engaging melodies that explore different moods and celebrate life and the joy of making music. Her enthusiasm is infectious and volunteers are eager to join her on stage to play along or dance. Her warm-hearted and fun performances make children feel ‘cozy’ and very much a part of the joy and creativity of music.
