Vacaciones en Nueva York

Hola,

Volvimos a partir de nuestras vacaciones en Nueva York. No hay nada como tiempo de la calidad del gasto con la familia. Estoy tan alegre que teníamos una ocasión que visitar.Vida hasta ahora lejos de la familia (por todas partes nos separan literalmente, de Nueva York a la Florida del sur a Kansas) esa es grande disfrutar de la compañía de la familia (y conseguir una rotura, también!). Mi hija tenía un rato maravilloso con sus primos (aunque lucharon sobre los juguetes casi tanto como jugaron!).

Si usted está buscando algunas actividades de la diversión para usted y sus niños este 4 de julio, usted puede ser que quiera controlar hacia fuera mi último artículo:

Fun and Free Family July Fourth Fun

Hasta luego,

Mami Mozart

Back from vacation

Hola Everyone,

We returned from our vacation in New York. There is nothing like spending quality time with family. I am so glad that we had a chance to visit. Living so far away from family (we are literally spread everywhere, from New York to South Florida to Kansas) that it is great to enjoy the company of family (and to get a break, too!) My daughter had a wonderful time with her cousins (even though they fought over toys almost as much as they played!). 

If you are looking for some fun activities for you and your kids this July 4th, you might want to check out my latest article:

WIll be writing more soon. Just started using Scribefire, so I am hoping that I will be able to post more often.

Take care,

Mami Mozart

The Composing Mommy

Good Evening (Almost Morning),

I wonder if Mozart, Bach, or Tchaikovsky ever had to worry about how they were going to balance taking the sick baby to the doctor, caring for their significant other, attempting to have some semblance of a clean home, and trying to compose music? I am working on an album right now for a music company, and I have to have the final track (with shorter edits) done before we leave for vacation this week. Craziness!

The music is jazzy, with a Latin twist (I have a blast throwing in all the percussion parts, since I have played drums for over twenty years now). Anyway, it is nearly midnite, I am trying to finish, and baby starts crying. Poor thing is sick with a cold. Anyway, I tuck her in and then back to composing. (Yawn). I am super tired, but I need to meet this deadline. (I am sure Bach would understand, he worked fulltime as a choir director, writing a cantata per week AND he had about 20 biological children. Ack!)

Well, gotta run, even with my soundproof headphones, I can hear my baby calling from the next room. Ciao for now!

Juggling Baby and Work

Hello Everyone!

For those that do not know, last fall I gave birth to our first baby...a sweet little girl who is as active as her mamí, though she looks like her daddy (bald and all!) She has had a cold all this week, so I have had less time than I had hoped to work on Mamí Mozart.

Check out Mamí Mozart's updated Lesson Plan pages. I have been working in art and music education for over a decade, and linked to some fun and easy art and music projects. I hope to add another twenty links or so (maybe today?). Please feel free to share these fun music activities. They work great at home, at school, at daycare, or just because!

Much of my educational experience has been with at-risk children, and I have tons of music and art lesson plans to share that are specifically for children with ADD, ADHD, live in the inner city, have emotional disorders, etc. I really feel that music and art gives a creative outlet for these children, who often have very few safe outlets to express themselves. Parents have loved these lesson plans, too.

I also added a "Going Green" section to the Lesson Plan page. These lesson plans not only help the environment, they are often easy and FREE! :-)

I hope you sharing Mamí Mozart with your friends and family!

Smiles,
Mamí Mozart

PS I will try to post in Spanish as well. Pero, hablo "Spanglish" y my Spanish writing skills are "muy mal" (or is it "malo"?). Right now I will be using an online translator and doublechecking it. If anyone has any Spanish resources (or other language resources like Creole) that you would like to share, just let me know!

New Mami Mozart Album

Hello Everyone!

Mami Mozart is proud to announce that this Christmas there will be a new Mami Mozart music album - "Introducing Instruments of the Orchestra!"

As part of the musical release, Mami Mozart is going to send out 25 free CDs with music teacher materials to qualifying public and charter schools! More information about the Mami Mozart Free Music program will be posted in July!

Musically yours,
Mami Mozart

Starting Something New

Hola Everyone!

I hope you enjoy checking out the fun online game and gift links here at Mami Mozart! I figured that starting this great music resource online would be easiest with Blogger.

I am working on a full website for Mami Mozart, as well as more music, games, and fun gifts in art, music, dance, and theater!

Feel free to leave a comment. I would love to hear from you!

Smiles,

Mami Mozart
