About Us

Welcome and thank you for visiting the Love to Sing Website!

The concept of Love to Sing came about when I was a teacher (just a couple of decades ago)! I often found myself frustrated with the music resources on hand e.g. great album but no lyrics – I thought how great would it be to create a complete package – an album sung by children for children, a book with all the lyrics and actions plus beautiful illustrations so children will know what song to choose.

This was way back in 1990 – Scholastic published Songbook and it became an instant success in early childhood centers and schools in fact children loved the songs so much that parents wanted to buy it as well. This is why Love to Sing is both popular in the retail and school market. After a stint of being a music lecturer I created my own business in 1994 – since then the catalogue has increased greatly with multi-platinum sales for many of the book/album and DVD titles. Love to Sing is sold all over the world. In New Zealand the songs are played daily on national TV.

My philosophy is that participation and enthusiasm are the keys to your child’s learning. Imagine the change in our world if we would share just one song a day with a child – happy vibrations are created when we sing and we connect together. The learning aspects of singing are many - building language and memory skills, helps to develop fine and gross motor skills and co-ordination, musical concepts such as volume, tempo, beat and rhythm, pitch and melody, harmony and mood and tone – but to me nothing is as important as the magic connection when we sing together.

Through out creating the Love to Sing products I am incredibly grateful for my fantastic and honest sounding boards – my amazing daughters Jamie and Tessa. They have performed with the choir (even in front of 300,000 people), starred in TV ads, and been recording artists, packaged products and help with the website. Jamie is studying for a post graduate degree in business and Tessa is in her last year at school – next year she will be studying for a degree in education. I am still creating new products, run workshops for teachers and parents and children and will be adding many new features on my website.

Hey if you have any ideas for products you would like or ideas regarding the website let me know!

Tessa, Linda and Jamie
