Sunday Singalong

Sunday Singalong: Left & Right

January 29, 2012

This song is an oldie, but honestly, it might be one of my favorite Listen & Learn originals. I like the melody, and I also like that it explains the concept in a relatively easy-to-understand manner. I debated including a picture-in-picture view of the actions as I sing them, but decided it would probably be [...]

Sunday Singalong: Snowy Day

January 15, 2012

Ask any of my friends or family and they’ll tell you: Rachel is NOT a winter person! I despise the cold and am deathly afraid of driving in any kind of hazardous weather condition. So when I saw that snow was in the forecast this past week, I ran all of my errands and did [...]

Sunday Singalong: Count On Me by Bruno Mars

January 8, 2012

I have been dying to spend some time playing my new ukulele ever since I got it for Christmas, but this first week back to the studio has been a little more than busy! Luckily, I found a few minutes to learn and record this song — a favorite that I featured as a Friday [...]

Sunday Singalong: Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer

December 18, 2011

The other day as I was getting ready for work, this song came on the radio. Before I knew it, there I was — performing the accompanying show choir moves I learned in middle school. 15 years ago. I posted about it on Facebook, only to find out that I wasn’t the only former Generalette [...]

Sunday Singalong: Winter’s On the Way

December 11, 2011

Winter doesn’t officially begin until December 22 this year — a mere 3 days before Christmas. This throws my students off every year; when it starts getting cold in November, they tell me that it’s winter (and understandably so). That’s why this song came to be. As much as I usually dread this season, I’m [...]

Sunday Singalong: Six White Boomers

December 4, 2011

I am pleased to welcome another special guest to the “Sunday Singalong” series: Michelle Erfurt! Michelle contacted me early Saturday morning, asking if she could share one of her favorite Christmas tunes here at Listen & Learn. And since I’m battling a particularly nasty cold and laryngitis, I was more than happy to oblige. And [...]

Sunday Singalong: A She & Him Cover

November 27, 2011

This was a super busy week for me! Between getting back on track after my trip to Atlanta, the holiday, and two big performances, I barely had time to breathe — let alone record a “Sunday Singalong” video :( But as I was downloading some video from last night’s gig, I had an idea: since [...]

Sunday Singalong: The Sneezy Scarecrow

November 20, 2011

There are lots of reasons I love attending the national music therapy conference, but today I’m adding a new one to the list: the opportunity to record my first-ever guest edition of Sunday Singalong! Actually, it’s kind of funny that I had to come all the way to Atlanta to see Meryl Brown, who lives [...]

Sunday Singalong: Ten Little Turkeys

November 13, 2011

The other day while singing this song during a music therapy session, I completely blanked out when it came to singing about that 7th little turkey…oops! Isn’t it funny how the brain can fail you like that, even after singing a song year after year? Luckily I remembered that he “hid with the chicks” while [...]

Sunday Singalong: Rise Up (Gala Performance)

November 6, 2011

Last night, I attended the National Children Protection Training Center’s inaugural gala in St. Paul Minnesota. Not only did I attend, but I had the opportunity to perform the song my mom and I wrote, because it was chosen as the winner of their national songwriting contest. Sharing the song with all of the gala [...]

Sunday Singalong: The St. Louis Swingers

October 30, 2011

Just as the World Series started to heat up, I received this blog comment from Rene, a member of Listen & Learn Plus! and teacher extraordinaire: Will you still be my music therapist when the Rangers beat the Cards in the World Series? How about a friendly “deal.” If the Rangers win, you sing “The [...]

Sunday Singalong: Purple People Eater

October 23, 2011

Every October, I’d go to each classroom at my former job brimming with excitement about the new Halloween songs I’d written for my students. They always went over well. But inevitably, at the end of each class I’d hear, “Can we sing the ‘Purple People Eater’ song?” Mind you, it was usually (but not always) [...]

Sunday Singalong: Costumes on Parade

October 16, 2011

One of the things I’ll really miss this fall is seeing all of my former students at The Hope Institute dressed up in their Halloween costumes, parading around the school. And I’ll be working away during trick-or-treat time this year, so I will just have to live vicariously through Facebook — for not only my [...]

Sunday Singalong: Ugga Bugga Boo

October 9, 2011

Okay, okay…so this song really has nothing to do with Halloween at all. It is, however a Listen & Learn oldie! I think three years qualifies, as such, don’t you? When I went digging through the archives to find my original post, I couldn’t believe it how long it has been around. The original moves [...]

Sunday Singalong: Pumpkin, Pumpkin

October 2, 2011

For someone who isn’t the biggest fan of Halloween, I sure have written enough songs to make it appear otherwise! This is one of my older tunes — it’s been around for a few years, but I still like to pull it out from time to time. It seems to be pumpkin weekend here on [...]

Sunday Singalong: The Scarecrow Song

September 25, 2011

Singing this song always puts a smile on my face, because it reminds me of one of my former students at The Hope Institute who absolutely LOVED it. He got such a kick out of singing it and finding each body part as it was mentioned in the song! It’s fun to pull out all [...]
