2022-12-16T17:03:47+00:00December 16th, 2022|

Earlier this week, I was Rockin' and Readin' at the Carroll Valley Library branch in Fairfield, Pennsylvania. The library invited me to lead a session during toddler and preschool story time, and we had a blast! Today, I'm sharing a few ways I turned a typical holiday sing-a-long into an interactive, goal-oriented session for the [...]

We Are Rockin’ & Readin’ at the Library in March

2019-02-20T15:28:24+00:00February 20th, 2019|

The library is one of my favorite places to be. I've always loved the smell of the books and the peacefulness that lives in the bookshelves. Well, that is the peacefulness until storytime starts! If you've ever been to one of our Rockin' & Readin music sessions, you know we get a little bit loud [...]

The Leaves Are Falling One By One

2019-09-26T13:57:35+00:00November 7th, 2018|

Although I have a storehouse of session ideas (especially when it comes to Fall!), I always like to keep things fresh and bring in new musical experiences for my clients. My mom recently sent a book in the mail for my daughters (who are ages 2 and 4) and they love it, but as soon [...]

New Book ‘n Songs To Add To Your Collection

2018-07-24T18:33:00+00:00July 22nd, 2015|

I just got back from taking Brooke, my little one, to story time and our local library and let me tell you, she loves it! Now that she's one, everything is more fun. She's getting into the movements of each song and she's very observant of the librarians when they read. I lead baby and toddler developmental music classes at library [...]

Rockin’ & Readin’ at the Library

2020-01-28T16:05:07+00:00May 20th, 2015|

In last week's blog post, I shared about the library programs we offer at the Miami-Dade County Library System ~ Rockin' & Readin' (a music therapy program that targets literacy skills) and Baby & Toddler Rock (both developmental music programs).
