songs in the city

Hi! I'm Teresa and I started this blog a couple years ago when I decided to take a break from teaching to write children’s songs in and around NYC. 26 songs in 26 weeks -- check! Now I'm back at work full time teaching toddlers, teaching music, still writing songs, and definitely still drinking coffee and loving New York.

Happy first day of spring!!🌱 Scenes from over in the meadow😊 our first cover song of the year, only on YouTube and the video is cute! (see last slide) Bonus: we arranged the animals in formations that help children practice subitizing aka recognizing quantities WITHOUT counting— useful math skill! Music produced by Ryan, video produced by Teresa, all instruments played by Ryan, vocals by Teresa and the kids🎶 #overinthemeadow #childrensclassics #kidssongs #circletime #subitizing #montessoriteacher #liveinstruments https://www.instagram.com/p/CqAh80zsByh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was going to replace “monday night football” but then the president said he brought back football, so who am I to take that away from him 🤷🏻‍♀️ Verse 2 in progress. So much material, so hard to choose from... #debate #election2020 #trump #ibroughtbackfootball #bidenharris2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CFvjmnon2zk/?igshid=16ilpk40sooep

Good reminder for the kind of week spent switching leases, buildings, neighborhoods, and moving dates last minute, and inventorying and packing up your life #limbo #calm #crosstown UWS🔜UES (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEw4axMHh8j/?igshid=m7c16s4mnl9g

Genius color matching egg carton painted and gifted from our neighbor💕 The kids used to play together all the time, now it’s evolved to Zoom pictionary/bristle block play dates/happy hours and masked park outings. And sharing ideas and materials! This is perfect for Josh to start working with😊 #montessorihomeschool #colormatching #eggcartoncraft #preschoolathome #preschoolactivities #busytoddlers #homeschooling #toys #foundaroundthehouse mostly #birthdaypartyfavors from #partycity (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZsdSJHyW6/?igshid=3zhqxn03n0yg

New York has always weathered the storm. I don’t expect it to happen overnight or even in the next few years and I don’t know if I’ll be fortunate enough to still be here being a part of it... but this city will come out strong again. 🍎💗📸: @beanerbagg (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEWsK1UHA-T/?igshid=4i3ffecowbbs
