Randy loves teaching and has taught music for 30 years. Finding ways to trick children into learning through music is his specialty!! Cool To Be Kind Program Randy performs his award winning songs about Kindness. One of the main songs in the program called “We All Have Feelings” was a finalist in The Artist’s Forum International Music Contest in New York. This song includes actions, sign language and a catchy chorus that children and adults will be singing for a long time after the program.

Along with the song “Cool To Be Kind” a Kindness Challenge Card is given to each student challenging them to do something kind for someone else and pass on the card to encourage them to do something kind or they can keep the card to remind them it is cool to be kind. Songs included in the program are “Cool To Be Kind”, “We All Have Feelings”, “Be Kind” and songs that students will have fun singing and doing actions with.

Rockin’ Together Program This program focuses on teamwork and working together! Songs like “Rocking Instruments” encourages students to work together to play in a band and when you all play together and work together it makes you feel good from your head to your toes!!

This is a great life lesson about how working together makes the world a better place. The song “Tambourine Star” encourages students to find something they are good at and to work together with others to keep improving on their skills. Randy also includes fun songs to sing and move to including a new song called “Crossover”. “Crossover” is a fun dance song that gets the audience to crossing their midline. Research shows that learning to cross the midline helps children connect left brain to right brain and helps them become better readers.
