The Vision for Auntie Kayte Music and Stories

There's nothing more persistent in a child's mind than a catchy song. The things children hear at an early age have the power to shape future behavior. Do you ever feel like the messages that your kids are getting from mainstream media are just giving them bad ideas? Wouldn't you prefer to have songs running through your children's heads that teach them to love and respect themselves, others and the universe, and reinforce positive behavior and life choices?

Auntie Kayte enchants children with songs and stories about familiar characters like knights and princesses, pirates and fairies, unicorns and rainbows, but in a world where you see both sides of the story. These songs capture children's imaginations while teaching them that actions have consequences, and people (and unicorns) are valued for who they really are. Kids are emotionally drawn to these stories and their messages.  This connection provides opportunities for  meaningful conversations about deeper subjects like personal responsibility, compassion and possibilities that help them interpret their world and apply the lessons to real life.

In addition to the fantasy story songs, Auntie Kayte writes about life situations from getting up in the morning with a good attitude to making choices, learning new things, taking care of yourself and the environment and picking up your toys. The life songs are a great starting point for making up your own words about how you do things at your house or in your classroom, and the catchy melodies make them easy to remember.

"The Friends of Lincoln Park in Downtown Long Beach have had the honor of having Auntie Kayte bring her musical storytime to our events at the park. She has a magical affect on the children that are surrounding her with her treasure chest of costumes or her storyboard of drawings that capture the imaginations of all who watch and listen, while engaging her audience for a morning, afternoon or evening of learning with song. We are looking forward to our next opportunity to have the amazing Auntie Kayte capture our attention again. Thank you! "
