About Me

A Sound Healing Program for Children........of all ages!
Welcome to Sing and Hum Kids, an outreach program using music and sound to provide children and families with an interactive approach to playfully participate, with a sense of empowerment, through life's little, or big, discomforts. Using the illuminating picture book, Sing and Hum Bumblebee, children learn to find peace through challenges by singing and humming a song with an inspiring message.
The accompanying CD, Sing and Hum, seems to be "the ultimate meltdown remedy" for children. Through the use of beautiful harmonic tones and soothing songs, children calm themselves easily while listening to the story of a young bumblebee who finds inspiration and empowerment to face life's difficult moments by singing and humming a song taught by the wise Queen Bee.
Here's what one Mom had to say about Sing and Hum Bumblebee:

“Sing and Hum is nothing short of miraculous!! Every time my sons have "meltdowns," they calm down IMMEDIATELY upon hearing the CD. It has become my favorite calming tool for them. AMAZING!!! IT REALLY WORKS!!! You can't help but fall in love with it when you see how effective it is. I am recommending it to all of my OT clients and colleagues. I also highly recommend it to all parents of young children”

Sing and Hum regularly visits local Ronald Mc Donald Houses (RMH). One of the RMH parents was so inspired by its effectiveness, that she changed her college major to music therapy. Here's what RMH staff has to say about our program:

“Sing and Hum helps to ease the fears of children at it offers encouraging words, gentle music and comforting sounds. Parents who have used it say that it makes a dramatic difference in their child, and has a great calming effect.”

We'd love to bring Sing and Hum to your community!
