My Latest Songbook Collection is Here!
I am so happy to announce that as of today, my new songbook collection -- Ring, Sing, Strum & Drum! -- is available in its entirety. I have been working SO hard over the last couple of months writing and recording 12 brand-new songs that I think you will love and...
{Guitars & Granola Bars} Episode 15
Jennifer Sokira is one of those people who you'll meet and feel like you're old friends after talking with her for just a few minutes. I know that was the case for me when I met her at AMTA national conference a few years back. We were introduced through mutual...
Welcome to the World, Baby
I welcomed my first baby (that's him at five days old) to the world a little shy of two years ago. Not long after he was born, I was inspired to write the song "Welcome to the World" for all of my friends and family who were having babies of their own. I'll be...

{Guitars & Granola Bars} Episode 13
This was one of those episodes I didn't ever want to end -- that's how fascinated I was by my guest this week. My interview with music therapist and doula Kate Taylor is especially timely as I begin planning for the birth of my daughter, which is only a few weeks...
I Have a Balloon Ball
I'm pretty sure I've reached "fangirl" status when it comes to Bear Paw Creek's movement props. This is the 4th song I've written specifically for one of their products, because they are SO perfect for my early childhood music classes. I'm just now getting around to...
