SING WITH CARNEGIE HALL
Thank you all for viewing my episode of the online series, Sing With Carnegie Hall: Imagination! All the episodes are up on the Carnegie Hall Youtube page. Share these links with your friends and family so they can sing along too!
Imagination and learning take flight in this sing-along series for families with young children! Recommended for ages 2—5, each mini-episode explores playful themes as lively guest artists introduce music from around the globe.
I lead a sing-along where kids’ imaginations can soar with “Aye,” a traditional West African song, and an original spin on “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.” Host and sing-songwriter Emily Eagen also invites the entire family to participate in playful song.
You can listen to past episodes of Lush Tongue: Sound Meditation and Musings here on Youtube and here on Facebook. And please make a contribution to support this work at any of these platforms. Thanks!
Thanks for your support!
