Delores' unique repertoire of songs and fingerplays includes both original songs and material collected through her years as an early childhood music specialist.
Her material includes story songs, movement songs, fingerplay songs, folk songs and circle dances, some of which are on her Toddlers' Songtime® tape.
Thousands of children's parties have enjoyed Delores' special style of music making with instruments, scarves, and a musical parade with "The Birthday Song"© featuring the child's name.
Delores accompanies herself on her guitars, "Sally"
and "Betsy", and always calls upon "Suzy the Kazoo", to help out too!
She rhymes her programs for children and adults - remembering their names
gets terriffic results!
Delores says: "Making music is the ultimate group activity, a universal language that speaks to us all." Whether singing about the Swahili jambo! (which means hello), or the Japanese tyko (which means drum), Delores brings her groups together, reminding us that "....children everywhere make music".
All of Delores' parent/child music classes are for children 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 years old. Children's parties are for 2 - 7 year olds. Your Own Way in Music An Article by Nancy Uscher
