Dear Valued Customer:
We would like to invite you to join
the online community of teachers,
parents, friends and associates who
receive our electronic newsletter.
Nineteen years ago, I began creating educational
songs out of concern for my students and my own
two children. Needless to say, we’ve been delighted
with the response to our educational audio
series. Our audio kits and new resource books
have helped make learning fun for hundreds of
thousands of students the world over.
Every two weeks we faithfully write
up teaching ideas, related links and
lesson plans based on one, two or
even three of our songs. These are
all sent, free of charge, along with
the free song downloads to recipients
of our newsletter. Parents and
teachers have told us that they
find the information very valuable.
Our websites continue to flourish! You’ll find
pen pals, free cartooning lessons, contests, terrific
activities and free downloadable worksheets at
SongsThatTeach.com and AprendeCantando.com. You
can even listen to sample songs online and be electronically
directed to the closest educational dealer in your area!

Mathematics
The “Unplugged Math” series was created by teachers and is a
great alternative to heavier rock and rap programs. It uses an
interactive approach. The multiplication and division kits are
especially designed to feature and review skip counting in the
chorus of every song.
The 3R Rap®, Multiplication
Hip, sophisticated songs boost reading and
multiplication at the same time. The 3R Rap®
was nominated by the University of Louisville
for the Grawemeyer Award in Education for
“outstanding achievement with a potential for
world-wide impact.” Recommended for
adolescent upgrading.
