"Where ...?" Video!

Hello hello!

Well, another Teacher Davis video is done and ready to be viewed!  It's another track off my debut children's album, SPECIAL SONGS for SPECIAL KIDS, and it features the wonderful Teacher Amanda, who has done shows with me in the past at The Zimmer Museum, The Levitt Pavilion and other places!


This video was directed and edited by the lovely Connie Tsai.  Take a look and enjoy!

Let's March for March!

Let's March for March!

Ah, the beautiful month of March is in full swing!  No Saturday concerts this month - I did play at Books and Cookies in January, The Westchester Library and Children's Book World in February, but this month is a month to teach during the weekday and also work on the next Teacher Davis album, which is all about the basic components of music and different activities regarding movement.

This month we did some singing for St. Patrick's Day and also a song for Passover.  A lot of older students are really understanding musical notes and being able to play them on shakers, bells, tambourines and drums.  Some other friends really look forward to the "Yoga Song" once a week in which we are learning basic yoga poses such as the tree pose and downward dog.  I also enjoyed playing "We'll Be Dancin' 'round the Mountain" (my adaptation of "She'll Be Comin' 'round the Mountain") with three different instruments from the three musical families -- the guitar from the string family; tambourines from the percussion family; and the harmonica from the wind family!

After the spring break, we'll be gearing up for more fun during the Music Day Hooray! Spring Quarter 2013, when we'll be singing new songs, doing new activities and learning new things!
