I have taught K-12 Music, third grade, sixth grade, second grade, and kindergarten (for the past 16 years). I am a songwriter, pianist, and love recording original music for early literacy classroom use. I have also created several things for use teaching the Common Core Standards for Kindergarten. My K Math Journal Bundle is a favorite!
Research shows that young children retain information better when music and movement are used daily in the classroom. Children who have fun while learning are more likely to remember what has been experienced through music. Original hands-on work is the key to learning the common core standards. Take a look at my common core math journals!

Having been a pianist and musician all of my life, I knew it would partner well with teaching. I use the music I record every day in my classroom. My common core aligned materials are in classrooms across the country! I love creating and sharing.
