Thousands of dedicated teachers have attended this popular workshop and the demand for materials covered in the workshop has grown. Volume 1 was released in 1996 and has become a highly regarded educational resource as well as a very popular recording for young children at home and in school. Peter and Ellen have also published a companion manual containing music, lyrics, accompanying motions, related activities and a list of picture books, creating a valuable guide for parents and teachers who want to incorporate music into the lives of the children with whom they live and work.
Children love and respond enthusiastically to music.
With our work, we strive to make available simple, enjoyable, memorable songs and chants that will encourage adults to sing and play with the children in their lives. As performers, they exude warmth and excitement, inviting audiences to perform with them. As songwriters, they create clever lyrics and singable melodies that reach right into the lives, hearts, and minds of their listeners. As music educators, they present material that is informative and inspiring, as well as extremely entertaining. Peter is a graduate of Worcester State College, with a Bachelor's degree in Health and Music Education.
