What do you get when a gifted musician and skilled music therapist becomes a mother?
Cathy Bollinger’s "Tunes that Teach" - that’s what! Indeed, "Tunes
That Teach" allows your kids to learn through wonderful children’s music. But the process never feels like work. Instead, Bollinger masterfully weaves rhythm and rhyme with melody and harmony to create sing-a-long songs that do far more than prompt and engage. They delight. Before you know it, your children will be singing the days of the week, exploring the four seasons, marching around to the beat of a phone number and happily chanting things like, “Please may I?” and “Thank you very much,” and “May I be excused?” An added bonus is that Cathy’s soothing voice makes it enjoyable when your little one asks for it “One more time!”
Little ones will be bopping around to first words like bat, cat, bee, knee, red and bed as well as singing the word, “Loud,” well, loudly! Aware of learning on many levels, Bollinger exposes listeners to a plethora of instruments. There’s a marimba, a pedal steel guitar, a mandolin, a tuba, a fretless bass, a sax, a trumpet, a kalimba and more. A Kalimba instrument is used to prompt your child to give sing-and-learn answers. Songs are repeated to allow you to add your own voice to the music provided.
