My goal as a singer / songwriter is to make the world a better place through music education. So I love hearing from you and sharing your success with others. Please be in touch and share your experiences using our music. Thanks! - Obie

Sing To Learn
“If only newsprint could convey the music and sweet sound of a voice that seems made to sing to children!” Marilyn Mantay, Davis Enterprise Music Critic
"As a pre-school teacher of more than 8 years, this learning CD is like a breath of fresh air. I use Count With Me Kindergarten as part of our every morning routine. The kids love it, and more importantly, its fun, educational and physical. What more could I ask for! Thanks so much for making a learning tool that is so inspirational and fun for Children." S.B., Preschool Teacher, Auburn, CA

“Thank you for motivating us (staff) during your workshop in October. The children were so excited to perform your songs.” E.A., Preschool Teacher, Live Oak, CA
I was at the workshop at CHS [Math Through Music] last night and it was great! The little ones here are totally enraptured listening to ABC You Later. Thanks for all the info and inspiration -- I think in 12 years your workshop was the most useful 2 hours I've spent.
Wow! Thanks for the gift. I have spent a month of the new school year without "Good Morning:" or the 'Count with Me" song. Seems they got lost during summer school with other teachers using the classroom...probably pilfered due to the amazing quality and child appeal!
Hi Obie! Love your CD! I have to have it. [ABC You Later]
"The children love to play the flute. The songs we can't use for the flute are played throughout our day for listening and dancing to. I like to expose the children to as much music as possible. . . .It's wonderful to share your gift with children. D.P., Preschool Teacher, Redwood City, CA
"We appreciate you performing at the Children's Faire. The group [local preschool students] that played their flutes was great. Golden Rivers Association for the Education of Young Children, Chico, CA
"As an elementary school teacher and a parent of two young boys, I search for children's songs that can make kids sing and dance, but that also have meaning. Obie's songs have everything -- fun melodies, catchy lyrics and substance .... several CDs even teach counting and math standards! My elementary school students cannot wait to play their song flutes along with Obie's CD "I Love My Flute" -- a fun method for learning a musical instrument. If you listen to an Obie CD or see him in concert, it is obvious Obie knows kids and music." J.H., teacher, Marysville, CA
You came to see my [college] class this summer in Atwater. You were great and a bunch of us bought your CDs. I bought "Count With Me! Kindergarten and we are loving it. I told my class that I saw you perform and I showed them your picture from the CD so that feel like they know you:) They love to sing with "Obie" every morning. They really like the flute part on the counting from 1-50. I told them that I saw you play one for our class. I have integrated the songs into my calendar time and it makes it so much fun! My students had a question: How do you make that funny voice on the CD and what is his name? Thanx for your time!" A.G.., teacher, Atwater, CA [That's my friend "Moose the Mouse" singing along on Count With Me! Kindergarten.]
