My Project

You can help make storytime come alive! I create storytime songs and add music to books. As a drummer, I add beats our books and co-created songs about literacy. I have been playing the drums on a pillow on my lap, but it falls often.

This donation will help me buy a drum so I can take the music to the next level during storytime.

Students love singing in the library. I love creating songs and sound effects for students to make reading come alive! Stay tune to fun songs about books!
