We are all storytellers

Music and Story 

Teresa and Frank awaken imaginations with story and music. They infuse world folk tales, myths and original stories with rhythm, movement, creative dramatics and song. Using voices, guitar, harp, banjo and percussion they invite audience participation and inspire a love for these timeless stories. 

During school assemblies students hear age appropriate multicultural stories. In residencies, students strengthen their own storytelling and writing abilities. They internalize narrative structures and learn to take creative risks in a supportive community. They retell using drama, art, puppetry, masks and song writing.

Teresa and Frank offer a wide variety of programs (single day as well as workshops, in-services and extended residencies) connecting storytelling to literacy standards, including:
• Learning to Tell Stories (students often tell their stories to other classrooms, or create a school wide storytelling festival)
• Environmental programs with special focus on water
• World folktales (they also offer programs with a special emphasis on Celtic or Appalachian tales, or Greek myths)
• Storytelling: writing and telling
• Intergenerational Storytelling (collecting, crafting and performing stories with students and elders)

In addition Teresa has also done extensive work creating lullabies and offers the following to parents, family centers, libraries and hospitals:
• Creating a lullaby Tradition
• Creating a Meaningful Bedtime
