"The gift of learning an instrument and the language of music is the best you can give a child"
Creator Q&A
Tell us about yourself
I'm a musician, mother and educator living in Los Angeles. I've been making music for over twenty years but created Sweet Potato Music a few months after my daughter was born in 2017. I truly believe that the gift of learning an instrument and the language of music is the best gift you can give a child.
What inspired you to make this title(s)?
As a professional musician, flutist and composer I wanted to create a music program for young children that would set the stage for learning an instrument later in life. I wrote a bunch of short little songs, started holding classes and the rest is history! I had so much fun taking the songs I use in my music classes and building them out into fun arrangements whole families could sing along to.
"I hope kids will engage and sing along with the music - it's designed to be very interactive"
Who do you imagine listening to your audio?
I hope kids will engage and sing along with the music, it's designed to be very interactive, yet has a lot of the indie pop sensibilities I love and I hope parents will love too.
Is there anything different about making audio for Yoto?
I love that Yoto gives kids autonomy in a safe curated way to choose what content speaks to them. Kids often learn by repetition, which can be a lot for parents, and Yoto is a way for them to get that without driving the adults in their life completely insane.
What’s next?
I'm working on a musicianship program for slightly older kids that will be ukulele based, I'm excited to see what new music comes out of that! I'm also back in school studying speech and language pathology, so I'm sure that will work it's way in there too.
New to Yoto?
Our carefully connected speakers put kids in control of their listening, learning and play. No cameras. No microphones. No ads.
