Iza Trapani's "Twinkle Twinkle" accompaniment MP3
I LOVE Iza Trapani's books and, as a music teacher, I love to sing them to the class so I have created this MPS file to do just that. This recording was built to support her "Twinkle Twinkle" book and all the extra verses.

JabberAuditions
This is an ingenious audio sketch in which a flustered director is casting for a reading of Jabberwocky with the most random candidates possible.

The vocals are unusual and filled with aural hooks and references for the auditory learned to seize upon, enjoy and connect. The nearly 13 minutes goes through the entir
