Songs that teach music

We are founded upon the principal that music is a language worthy of holistic literacy, wherein Listening=Listening, Speaking=Improvising, Reading=Sightreading, and Writing=Composing. Using music itself to teach foundational music concepts is an important part of our in-house curriculums. Here, you have access to some of the songs used in SongBugs, Piano Alive, Uke Alive, and private lessons from our instructors who practice these methods written and developed by our founder and recorded/produced in house.
