Creator Q&A
Tell us about yourself
I’m a board certified music therapist and have seen first hand how music can joyfully support the development of children.
After improvising songs with kids for over 10 years, I started recording my songs in 2017 so that parents, music therapists, and music educators could use my songs, too. Now, my songs are heard by tens of thousands of kids around the world every single day!
What inspired you to make this title(s)?
Movement songs have the unique ability to support sensory and emotional regulation in a fun and playful way. When kids move to the structure of music, they’re often more successful in their daily routines.
"Start this collection of songs when kids are wiggly and encourage them to jump, dance and move. By the end, they just might be a little calmer"
Who do you imagine listening to your audio?
These movement songs are designed to help kids gradually calm using a music therapy technique called the “ISO Principle”. Start this collection of songs when kids are wiggly (or even a little grumpy!) and encourage them to jump, dance and move. By the end of the collection, they just might be a little calmer and ready for school, family time, or whatever is next!
Is there anything different about making audio for Yoto?
I love that kids get to self-select the music that they need. My hope is that kids learn that this song collection can help their bodies feel more regulated, and they choose to use it for that purpose.
What’s next?
I am always writing and recording music that can joyfully support kids, their families, their teachers, and their therapists. I plan to regularly release more music for years to come!
