Note from the Producer/Composer

Welcome to Sandy Wilbur Music and thank you for your interest in Learning History Through Music! I have tried to create exciting music that kids would love to sing while at the same time, teaching them about important moments in our history and important concepts of our American culture and democracy.   These songs are not easy, short little pieces.  They don’t "talk down" or "sing down" to kids.  Rather, they are contemporary and sophisticated. Nevertheless, with "We The People," we learned that children as young as four were not only learning the song but the rap as well - online!  We heard from teachers that the kids loved the song and from students that they begged their teachers to play or perform it. 

Because of the overwhelmingly positive feedback I have received, I have added two more songs to what I hope will be an ongoing program, "Four Score and Seven Years Ago" which sings part of the Gettysburg Address and teaches about the Civil War, Lincoln, and equality for all Americans, and "She Still Carries A Torch" which speaks to one of the greatest symbols of our freedom – the Statue of Liberty – and the immigrant experience that has been the bedrock of our democracy.

This has truly been a labor of love and I have insisted on the highest quality while at the same time providing teaching materials at the lowest possible cost so that teachers could afford them even when their budgets don’t allow and kids could learn the songs – and their important messages -  for free online. 

I hope you like these educational music videos and, if you do, please “like” them and pass them on to your teacher friends and any others you think would appreciate them.
