Welcome to my “community media” space for music and learning!

Sing, Rhyme, and Play just moved. And that got me thinking about this song!

Ingrid Christina shares her original “Big Blue Beautiful World” Song.

In 2022, I wrote this song to celebrate the global population reaching 8 billion people. At the time, I was teaching a virtual geography class and we explored every country in the atlas. We opened and closed each meeting with this song, and I hope you’ll enjoy it with your kids too!

This week, we are featuring Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield!

Sing, Rhyme, and Play celebrates astronaut Chris Hadfield!

In our new home, Canadian retired astronaut Chris Hadfield is a big deal—because it’s his hometown too! The local public school in our neighborhood is named after him. And his books—including AN ASTRONAUT’S GUIDE TO LIFE ON EARTH—can be found in all the libraries and book stores. We’ve learned a lot from him already, and we hope you do too!

Commander Hadfield is also a musician. When he commanded the International Space Station, he brought his guitar with him. Make sure you check out this video of him playing music in zero gravity!

Thank you, Commander Hadfield, for your inspiration and insights. Here’s to new horizons!


Stay Tuned for Important Dates
