Upside-Up Music

I've just learned of a new children's chorus starting in Ashfield, MA for 8-11 year-olds. Rachel Gibson is directing, she has a strong background in Kodály music education, which is what I based my Kids' Jam classes on. See her website for more information. https://rachelgibson299.wixsite.com/mysite

Come Jam With Me - Fall classes - https://mailchi.mp/442055460dec/upcoming-concerts-17392546

In 2007 I began researching and writing songs to teach a family music class for ages 5-7, that I called Kids' Jam. I taught in-person classes for many years, and took them online during the pandemic. Because I chose songs that I personally loved, I wasn't surprised to find that the grownups enjoyed the songs and singing games as much as the kids, and both younger and older siblings participated happily too.

I’ve sung a number of these songs in my concerts over the years, and I’ve been asked many times if they’re recorded. Now I can finally say yes, and here they are!

Come Jam With Me - Fall is a collection of my favorite fall Kids' Jam songs. Anand Nayak and I recorded everything live in the studio, just the two of us, and I love the results. I invite you to give a listen, as you just might too! (Bandcamp link in comments)

And then stay tuned, as I’ll be putting together more collections as the seasons turn.
