If you can walk, you can dance. If you can talk, you can sing.

Joanne Hammil is a songwriter, performer, educator, community choral director, and passionate rounds composer. She directs the Greater Boston Intergenerational Chorus and two community children's choruses, and presents dynamic concerts and workshops for adults, families, and music educators across the country. Her songs have been performed and recorded by many artists, have been widely published, and her rounds have become exciting standards in books, harmony circles and choir repertoires.
The Sing Out! review of her Rounds & Partner Songs begins "Extraordinary is the only term for this most enjoyable two-CD and two-book collection!" Joanne's two recordings of her original children's songs, Pizza Boogie and The World's Gonna Listen!, and her adult songs continue to receive the highest acclaim.
Becky Reardon's voice is familiar to the millions of people who heard her singing on the Charlie Brown TV specials in the 1970's and '80's. She appeared with George C. Scott and The Fifth Dimension in an NBCTV celebration of the 100th anniversary of the national parks, and she was a regular performer at acoustic venues in the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as a studio singer for many national TV and radio commercials.
When not singing other people's songs, Ted Warmbrand has been making up his own for a long time. They address issues big and small. He says
This song was made up one morning
it was my wife's inspiration
and I followed it to wherever it would lead.
Some say the woman mentioned in the song is Mama Earth.
You make up your mind...
If I step back to allow an overview of my work, what I see is that I want to Awaken a Creative Vision. I want to inspire new ways of seeing and hearing so that together we can transform the false polarities of our culture and create a more holistic and compassionate understanding of the world. I want to awaken a creative vision that connects and reconnects us to the earth, to each other and to the many ways of knowing ourselves and our Mother Gaia.
