Songwriting for Kids: Home

"It is true that even as a little girl, when I thought of the future I always thought of myself as a songwriter."
Carrie Jacobs-Bond


Hip Hop Speaks to Children
I'm excited to announce that my song "Long Track Blues" is included in a New York Times Bestseller book/CD edited by Nikki Giovanni. Listen to an NPR story about the book...including a clip of "Long Track Blues."

HOORAY FOR 2010 SUMMER WORKSHOPS! A big thanks to all my 2010 summer students. I had a great time in Fiction, Poetry, and Songwriting for Kids and loved watching all the imaginative stories, poems, and songs unfold. You can listen to this year's class song: "The Moon Shines Bright On the River" in the LISTENING ROOM and read what kids and parents have to say about the summer programs on the Review Page.

Join me in the Listening Room to listen to and read about some traditional American songs. Or stop by the Activity Room for songwriting assignments and activities, and to enter the I Wrote A Hit Song! contest. You can visit the Photo Gallery and check the Calendar to find out when a Songwriting for Kids workshop will be happening near you. And please don't forget to sign the Guestbook!

If you are a parent or organization who would like to host a workshop, you can learn more about our offerings here.

Thanks for visiting...now let's go make some music!

With love,
