The sheet music for “Green Money” is now available to members…learn about becoming one today! Members, click here to access this post.

Friday Fave: Sibelius

March 12, 2010

Those of you who are non-musicians might not find this particular “Friday Fave” very interesting, but I’ve been spending so much time using this program (and loving *almost* every minute of it) lately that I just had to share.  Sibelius - named after Finnish composer Jean Sibelius - is a scorewriter program that can do just about [...]

Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin

March 11, 2010

I incorporate books into my music therapy sessions almost on a daily basis.  Adding a visual component to any activity, intervention or song always helps grab and keep attention, and there are so many goals and objectives that can be addressed with an appropriate book.  I started my collection during my internship, and now have [...]

Today at Listen & Learn Plus!

March 9, 2010

Today’s post is the first in a three-part series about a subject we all can relate to: money.  I’ll be sharing sheet music downloads of songs to teach the identification and characteristics of coins and paper bills, as well as a visual aide (downloadable as a PDF file) I created to supplement the tunes.  The [...]

Don’t Interrupt!

March 8, 2010

I hope my husband isn’t reading this, because I’m about to let you in on one of his bad habits: interrupting.  Of course, he doesn’t do it excessively or on purpose; he just hasn’t quite mastered the art of waiting his turn when there’s something he’s really excited to share :) He has a lot [...]

Sunday Singalong: That Yellow Bus

March 7, 2010

“That Yellow Bus” was a February staple in my music therapy classes, and quickly became a student and staff favorite.  (I think the main reason is because it shares a title with a certain Justin Roberts song I did last year – that one still gets requested all the time!) Like I mention in the [...]

Friday Fave: Audible

March 5, 2010

When I was in elementary school, I only got in trouble for one reason: reading Babysitter’s Club books during class.  Not much changed throughout the years; I always had books in my desk, locker, and bookbag, because I loved to read and couldn’t get enough.  It frustrated my parents to no end, because they would [...]

Wave Goodbye to Winter

March 3, 2010

Warning: I might be contagious, so don’t come near me unless you want to catch…spring fever! Here are a few of my symptoms: jumping for joy at the appearance of sunlight impatiently counting down the days left of winter the urge to hug the weatherman for predicting warmer temps spontaneously breaking into songs about spring [...]

Marching Right Along

March 1, 2010

  Is it just me, or did February seem to drag on and on?  Thankfully, that dreary winter month is finally behind us and March is here!  On the horizon: SPRING, a weekend in Chicago, my puppy’s first birthday, and a week-long break (during which I’ll be recording a CD in St. Louis). I was [...]
