Serendipity – noun – good luck in making unexpected and fortunate discoveries
Last night, I was a recipient of a delightful link in an email from my good friend and fellow Kindermusik educator, Lori Burkhardt. Lori is a treasure-trove of resources, all kinds of useful information for just about anyone and everyone on our Kindermusik educators loop. She [...]

Years ago, I had the privilege of learning the alto part and performing in a mass choir’s production of the “Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel’s “Messiah.” It’s one of those things that you have to really work at to learn, and somehow you never forget, even years later. I can still sing that part today.
I have played the flute in an orchestra [...]

With all of the warnings and recalls of toys made in China recently, I, for one, appreciated receiving this from Michael G. Dougherty, chairman and chief executive officer of Kindermusik International. For your information and peace of mind, at least there’s one company you won’t have to worry about their products and toy safety.

Last night, while waiting for some families to arrive for my Demo Days class, I had an opportunity to share with a mom about a new program (new to me, at least) that I’ve recently fallen madly in love with. You have to understand that I watch very little television to begin with, especially on [...]

Satchmo (Louis Armstrong) was and still is one of my favorites of all time. This artist brings him to life in a very unique way that I think will amaze you. Turn up your sound, grab a child onto your lap, and enjoy!
Thanks goes to Molly McGinn.

With the recall by Mattel of over 10 million toys made in China, many parents and grandparents are worried about the toys they give their children and grandchildren as well as the toys their children play with in various venues such as daycares and preschools. How can you know they are safe? How can you know if a toy is appropriate for your child?

My sister sent this to me today in an email as a gentle poke from a doglover (her) to a confirmed cat-lover – me (although I do enjoy a good dog). Anyway, I thought the list was a cute one combined with the photos. If you know the author, please let me know. I’d like [...]

If you’re a parent and you haven’t heard your own family version of this song yet, it’s only because your child has to be a very young infant! Just wait, your turn will come!
All others, listen, sympathize, and enjoy!
My Favorite Place to Be

My family all knows that when I’m really stressed out, I’ll usually go into my room, close the door, and turn on my beach CD - 60 minutes of nothing but surf and wind. It’s lovely.
Today I found this video by a Youtube friend of his home beach in Aberdeen, Scotland. While I’ve never had the [...]
