I am a Sound Therapist and Tibetan Singing Bowl Therapist. I offer programs to Libraries and schools throughout Maine and do Peace ~ Wave concerts for children and adults. I would love to have a traveling bowl that made its way throughout Maine. I share about music from all around the world, though my focus is to share the history of Singing bowls and share the story of their special secret…they can sing!

I am an elementary music teacher, grades K-5. We are constantly immersed in songs from around the world. This school is especially interesting to me as we children from all over the world, with a total of 80 dialects. These instruments are amazing!!

We enjoy listening to the music of Nepal by Sur-sudha. Quite unique, quite wonderful 🙂

My Ethiopian-born daughter (home now 1 year, 9 months), age 11, is thrilled with all she has learned about China with her classmates the last several weeks. The entire school has a China theme during this period, and she’s learned music, history, art, theatre, poetry, and other subjects in relation to China. This week she’s performing in a play about a dragon and helping to celebrate the Chinese New Year. As a World Music Fanatic, I’ve consistently exposed her to music from cultures worldwide. We adore Putumayo! I used to teach in Benin, West Africa, and have worked in Haiti and studied in Europe (and speak languages from all the above places and others). We sing lots of songs together, and dance everything from hip-hop to fox trot as a fun-loving pair! Thank you, Daria, for all you do! I’ll be sharing your web site with my daughter’s teachers and other world music friends!

My daughters and I enjoy listening to music from the country of their birth… China. It is always a pleasant day when we do our chores while listening to our favorite music.

We listen to a range of music from around the world – my husband has quite an eclectic collection. Our daughter is from Ethiopia, and I think overall she prefers a latin beat!

I teach music in a very poor district that is multi-cultural. We also have a son from Russia and a daughter from China, and are in the process of adopting another China daughter. It is important in our family and in my school to listen to and play music from all over the world.

Hi! We have one son whom we adopted from Ethiopia, and two daughters whom we adopted from China, so we listen to all sorts of Ethiopian music and Chinese music too. Oh, and my two-year-old son is also a huge fan of Adele! 🙂 Thank you for sharing your instruments with us!

My kids both play musical instruments, and we have an assortment around the house – African drums, Mexican maracas, Appalachian dulcimer, etc. Although they play traditional instruments – piano, guitar and violin – they love all kinds of music. They were adopted from China, and we love listening to the Twelve Girls Band. They also love Bluegrass and Celtic music. They are really world citizens!

We love Putamayo, but since I am Russian, and my husband is German, we also listen to a lot of German and Russian songs that we knew when we were growing up. It was very interesting to learn about these instruments, by the way. Thanks for sharing them with us.

I have a world music CD that my kids love. It is in my car and they all have their favorite song.
