Since the late 1990′s I have been working teaching music to children (and adults) though my company Rainbow Songs. During that time I have been able to produce four cds 3 under my name and one under the Rainbow Songs moniker. Here are some samples of my music, I hope you enjoy them!!
My first CD was Elephants Have Wrinkles and it has lots of classic kids tunes as well as an eclectic bunch of other great music like this little version of Bach’s Minuet in G:
You can purchase “Elephants Have Wrinkles” on CD as well as on iTunes
Now on to my second CD “Early Morning Knee Slappin’ Tunes”. This one has a bunch of songs which I wrote as well as a healthy dollop of kids music classics. My wife Lisa actually came up with this catchy little ditty. I did a bit of arranging added a calypso beat and we ended up with this:
This is my tribute to Queen. If they had done a kid’s record I imagined it might sound like this.
You can purchase “Early Morning Knee Slappin’ Tunes” as a CD or digitally on iTunes.
My new CD is something I’m really excited about it is a rock and roll music for families about Dinosaurs called “Dinostory ~ The Ultimate Dinosaur Rock Opera”
The story goes like this: baby triceratops who, as an egg, was separated from his siblings and hatched on its own. Little Terri has to go out into the world and find where she belongs. Terri’s challenges include finding food and drink as well as a searching for a community that she can call home. Along her journey,
Terri is lucky to find other plant-eaters who help her out. Dinosaurs such as Jenny, the Ankylosaurus, and the peculiar Stegosaurus are some of the dinosaurs Terri encounters along her way. Of course the late cretaceous period also has its share of flesh eating monsters, like T-Rex, who are not as friendly and Terri will need all the help she can get if she is to survive.
The music pays tribute to many styles including Classic Rock, Metal, Reggae, Jazz, and even Bluegrass and features many top session musicians including: Trichy Sankaran, Ivan Rosenberg, Mark Kelso and Chris Coole.
Here are some samples:

Quite often singing classes involve draining away those bad practices that usually lead to unnecessary pressure. Singing is often a natural proxy of speech… of training course, people occasionally have tension in their speaking sounds too.
