Songs to learn and sing – songs that are fun, that teach, that bring out the best in children. |
Friends & Sponsors
Katherine has toured extensively throughout the US, and performed globally for military families with the US Department of Defense in Northern Europe, The Mediterranean, and Pacific Rim. Her 13th album, “Hunk-Ta-Bunk-Ta SEASONS - Songs to Celebrate All Four Seasons” was released in late June, and many of the songs were inspired by long-time CMN member, Brigid Finucan’s Facebook Page, “Lullabies, Tickles and Fingerplays.” In the next few months, Katherine will release videos on her YouTube channel with examples of fingerplays, ASL and activity ideas to accompany the songs. The Hunk-Ta-Bunk-Ta series of albums have won 41 national awards, and two of her lullabies are on the Grammy-nominated project “A Child’s Gift of Lullabyes.” Currently she is working in Colorado schools as a Wolf Trap artist and as a teaching artist with Think360 Arts. Toward the end of this year, her first story/songbook illustrated by Lizette Duvenage, a Ukrainian Canadian, will be published. Katherine offers family concerts (solo or with her Hunk-Ta-Bunk-Ta band); in-services and keynote addresses for Early Childhood educators, arts and library organizations; and songwriting, movement and instrument-making workshops for all ages.

Diversity and Inclusion
CMN stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement across the world. We are committed to cultivate a welcoming and affirming space, promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in our organization and the world at large. We recognize the positive power of music to shape children’s sense of fairness and justice, to teach the enormous importance of often-marginalized cultures to our music traditions, and to amplify the voices of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People Of Color), LGBTQI+ communities, and people of all abilities. We pledge to lead with humility, to continue our advocacy and support our members in theirs.
