1,2,3--SING WITH ME is a Parents' Place favorite! The entire album was created by special request to put all the parents' and children's favorites into one collection! 1,2,3--SING WITH ME classes are held at parenting classes weekly in Pacific Grove. All these songs are well used and well loved! Especially appropriate for toddlers! MaryLee's CD's and performances invite participation! If you've ever had the pleasure of seeing Marylee with an audience of young children--then you know. She captivates them. The little ones sing, dance, jump, wiggle, clap and follow her like the Pied Piper. Marylee is the children's muse because she remains focused on the music, and so do the children. What she brings to live performances can be heard on her CD's as well. Clear vocals, lots of variety in tempos, instruments, nuance. Each song is crafted to please little listeners, keeping their attention, and they're easy on parents' ears, too. A children's music specialist since 1985, she is the recipient of 3 Parents' Choice Awards and 2 American Library Association NOTABLE CHILDREN'S RECORDINGS and the producer/writer/performer of 14 CD's of traditional and original children's music. Her credits include a fifteen-year career as a nightclub singer and band vocalist, recording the title song to Walt Disney's APPLE DUMPLING GANG and Mattel Toys' SEE 'N SAY, touring America as a member of "Randy Sparks & The Back Porch Majority" and many concert appearances with the legendary BURL IVES. She received her certificate of study in Musical Theatre from London Drama School with distinction in singing. MaryLee performs 150+ concerts for children annually. She is the creator/performer of "Classroom Concerts" for several schools in Monterey County and music workshops for parents of babies and toddlers.
