The national summer reading theme for 2011 is'One World, Many Stories.'
In keeping with that, I am offering the title song for my upcoming
summer concert. It will feature rhythm instruments made from found items
around the world. Take a walk with your children, and see what you can
find! Stones, seeds, small sticks, and for some of us, pine cones, all
make wonderful sounds! Using your imagination (and theirs!), I'll bet
you can come up with some pretty clever ideas! Then play along with this
song. Over the next couple of months I'll be sharing my ideas for
homemade instruments from nature, and I would love to share any you come
up with as well. Send me a photo or description, and I'll post it. Let's
make some music!

Everything has a little rhythm of its own

Everything has a little rhythm

Take a look around, look down on the ground

And listen for the music waiting to be found

Pick it up, shake it up, break it up and make it up

Listen to the rhythm, listen to the sound
