THE CHILDREN love to sing along, echo, do movements, laugh, be silly, be contemplative, while gently but powerfully, through song, they are strengthened in the life skills so necessary to their well being. They also get to relate to a real singer, songwriter, recording artist in a personal way. (Songwriting workshops following a performance are offered.)

TEACHERS and PARENTS hear and appreciate the messages on their own, deeper, level. The songs are refreshing perspectives, tools for enhancing curriculums, for problem solving, for healing wounds, for triggering discussion -- and of course for good-time sing-alongs and musical programs. Many teachers report using Carol’s recordings in the classroom while doing art or projects.
Four recordings and three songbooks of Carol’s songs for children and families are available. See the Products page.
