The Creative Cast at Teach Children Music

Twice the recipient of ASCAP awards for children’s music, Wendy Rollin is the creator of teachchildrenmusic.com. Wendy’s five CDs and downloadable music packages have become enduring favorites, in classrooms, libraries and homes across the country and beyond.
