Almost a year ago, the album “Songs for Tree” was released into the world. This album is a song cycle that follows a child’s relationship with a tree through the four seasons. It has been a joy sharing the album, and this school year, I am going to build on this body of work byContinue reading “Songs for Tree – Video & Blog Series: An Invitation & Introduction”

Sing the Land to Sleep
Ah, here we have arrived, this being the last month of the calendar year. The day is dark and cold and the wind blustery. The leaves have long since fallen, and everywhere has a brownish-greyish hue. The snow is coming and going as the days pass. I think of this as the time to singContinue reading “Sing the Land to Sleep”
Sway Side to Side
As the trees lay themselves bare, all sorts of magic can be found. There is special magic found in those big clumps of leaves that we see oh-so-high in the treetops. Do you know the ones I mean? I have found these magical clumps of leaves to be such a beautiful entry point to deepContinue reading “Sway Side to Side”
Fly Your ‘V’
Last year, the geese commanded the attention of my school community. Everyday before the children arrived at school, the geese flew into the field and settled in to stay throughout the day. They made sure their presence was known, ushering children away from the field in their not-so-subtle way. And so, we started learning aboutContinue reading “Fly Your ‘V’”

“What Kind of Leaves” (“Quelle sorte de feuilles” in French) is the sister song to “Green Leaf” (“Feuilles Vertes” in French). In the fall, children were encouraged to make observations about all of the different kinds of leaves that were falling to the ground, and now, in the Spring, they are encouraged to consider whatContinue reading “What Kind of Leaves/ Quelle sorte de feuilles”
Calm Like Tree / Calme comme l’arbre
Songs for children can often fall into one of three categories: happy songs, educational songs, or lullabies. There is nothing wrong with any of these three categories- many of the songs I write fit nicely into these categories, and I like to think they all have a very important place in this world. However, asContinue reading “Calm Like Tree / Calme comme l’arbre”
