I Can Sing a Rainbow

We have the best Kindergarten class. We are learning new songs every week. Here is a new song that we only learned in class today. Enjoy!

We have a wonderful new class for the spring session of our after school program. We have 13 terrific kindergartners who are really doing a great job of singing and learning new songs. This is our very first video, enjoy...

"This Land is Your Land" with hand motions!

At Class this past week we learned "This Land is Your Land" with hand motions. Before we could record the song we had to make sure everyone knew the hand motions. The kids caught on fast but we did have to work a little with our trusted assistant "Ruhi." After one lesson the Kindergarten kids gave Ruhi an A+++ on her test! Ruhi was very excited. So watch and enjoy... but remember... there will be a test... there always is in life :)

BAM World Music Class sings "The Eggplant Song"

We are starting the new year in our Berkeley Arts Magnet School After School music class working on some old songs for broadcast on my Blog. This is just a taste of what we will be doing in our older kid class (1st and 2nd grade). Enjoy this energetic remake of Norman Greenbaum's classic "The Eggplant that ate Chicago" Enjoy...

Standing Up for Children - Sunday, November 8

I am doing something this coming Sunday (November 8) for the sake of all those kids I have sung with over the years and who I will sing with in the future and all those kids that just need a song... I will be joining with people all over the US on a Stroller Brigade. I will be joining others at the San Francisco City Hall to send a message that all our kids need health care from the time they are born. The new healthy care reform does not guarantee this for all our kids. Join Myrna and me as we push a stroller for health care for all our children.

So we have finished up a year of the BAM Folk Music Class. Each Friday for the last 18 weeks I have been singing with Kindergardners-Second Grade Students at the Berkeley Arts Magnet School. We had lots of fun. We sang, danced, made drums, horns & straw obos and generally just had fun making music together. Here is a little video of some out takes of our Music Class. Enjoy and see you in the Fall.

Peace Like a River

Some folks have asked about the hand motions for Peace Like a River. This video is of the Friday Afternoon First and Second graders Folk music class doing the song for you.
