Friday Fave: Love is a Four-Letter Word

April 20, 2012

Let me preface this post by admitting that I would buy anything recorded by Jason Mraz (and I have…I own all of his albums, including the live ones and EPs). I’ve been a super fan since I first heard “The Remedy” play on the radio during my freshman year of college; my husband proposed with [...]

I Can Do It By Myself

April 16, 2012

A fellow music therapist recently posted on a Facebook forum that he was in search of songs or interventions about performing tasks independently. I commented that I couldn’t think of any off the top of my head, but that it sounded like a great topic for a Listen & Learn song. After all, I have [...]

Friday Fave: The New RachelRambach.com

April 13, 2012

I’ve been itching to give my personal website a facelift for a while now. Before this week, it featured only the singer-songwriter side of me — but I wanted a centralized hub for all my endeavors. I chose some new colors, simplified the design a bit, and am really happy with how it turned out! [...]

Just Make It a Habit

April 11, 2012

Way back in 2008, one of my New Year’s resolutions was to wake up at 5 am every day and go to the gym. I was getting married in August, and looking great in my wedding dress was excellent motivation. So on January 2nd I dragged my tired behind to the gym. And it was [...]

Colors All Around

April 9, 2012

This week’s song topic comes courtesy of my mother-in-law, a special education teacher who works with young children. Every month I make her a CD of Listen & Learn songs to use in her classroom, and she creates amazing visual supports to accompany the songs. This weekend I asked her what kinds of goals her [...]

Friday Fave: Singable Stories About Habitats

April 6, 2012

I spent some quality time (as in 4+ hours) with these books last Saturday afternoon…and I’m still not tired of them. After finishing a special project for one of my Listen & Learn Plus! members, I am just that much more excited to use these singable stories with my own students. You’ve all heard the [...]

The “La La” Song

April 2, 2012

Earlier this year, I had the chance to see one of my favorite singer-songwriters, Eilen Jewell, in concert. Pokey LaFarge was the opening act, and I haven’t been able to get his song La La Blues out of my head ever since. So I used that to my advantage and wrote The “La La” Song! [...]

Friday Fave: Being Elmo

March 30, 2012

Earlier this month, my dad told me to check out a documentary on Netflix called Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey. I found his suggestion to be a bit random, but he insisted that it was quite entertaining and I would enjoy it. So I finally watched it, and he was right — I enjoyed the [...]
