Friday Fave: Italy, Spain and Home Again

August 31, 2012

You’ve probably noticed that aside from my weekly song posts, the blog has been pretty quiet over the past couple of weeks. I don’t like to go without posting for long, but this time I had a good excuse: I was on vacation in Italy and Spain! My husband and I had the time of [...]

The Lollipop Bop

August 27, 2012

Last summer, my nephew Mason came over for a little music-making session with his aunt Rachel. My father-in-law caught some of the action on camera, including the photo above of Mason playing away on the lollipop drum. I’ve been using this instrument a LOT lately in my music therapy sessions, which inspired me to write [...]

Off to School!

August 20, 2012

It’s that time again: most of my students are off to school today! So in honor of this momentous occasion, I decided to give one of my older songs a bit of a facelift. I wrote “Off to School” way back in 2009, and you can read the original blog post here. It’s been a [...]

The Goodnight Song

August 13, 2012

The end of the summer means getting back into the routine not only of waking up for school in the morning, but also of going to sleep on time. I remember being a kid and dreading the earlier bedtime that came along with the start of a new school year, and I know children everywhere [...]

Friday Fave: It’s a Wrap!

August 10, 2012

It seems rather impossible, but my summer session here at the Music Therapy Connections studio is over. 9 awesome weeks of music therapy sessions and voice/piano/guitar lessons are in the books, and I won’t see another student until August 30. The summer session is my favorite, because everyone (including myself!) is just a little more [...]

Seven Days in a Week

August 6, 2012

With the school year beginning in just a few weeks, I’ve had classroom topics on the brain. I know that calendar songs are part of the daily routine in many classrooms, so I’m adding one more to my long list of ‘em. Seven Days in a Week lists each day of the week several times [...]

Friday Fave: Instagram

August 3, 2012

When it comes to apps that are not directly related to music and music therapy, Instagram has quickly become my new favorite. In fact, I much prefer my iPhone to my camera (even the fancy new one my husband and I just bought) these days so that I can ‘gram my pics immediately. Although I [...]
