 I
have been a professional musician since I was fifteen, and after
touring with a national band doing lead guitar and vocals for ten
years, left my nightclub days behind to sing with my own kids. Then
other kids… and lots and lots of kids who are now parents
themselves! Along the way I became passionate about the connection
between early literacy and music, and began presenting workshops for
teachers and librarians nationally and internationally, where I’ve
developed a reputation for creating songs and materials that are
simple and easy to use.
In
2001 I started my artist website,
www.Nancymusic.com,
and began offering a free downloadable song a month, along with
sheet music and accompanying materials. These songs are now used by
teachers, parents, and librarians worldwide. Sing With Our Kids will
take it to the next level, with an emphasis on singing and
preserving traditional songs, and be better organized and much
expanded.
If you have an idea or song
that you think should be on this site, please do send me an e-mail.
I'm serious about this, because the more people share their ideas
the better resource it will become for everyone that interacts with
small children.
Here are some of the awards I’ve won along the
way:
- Ala Notable Children’s Recording
- Multiple Parents’ Choice Awards
- WLA Visionary Award for Service
to You
(I’m honored to be the only non-library staff person
to receive this prestigious award)
