Kona Stories

The idea for Sing and Hum came in the spring of 2003 while Mari was enrolled in a Certification Program at the Open Ear Center, on Bainbridge  Island,WA. Mari was working with small children and kept asking the instructor, "What about Children"?  Mari brought the story idea to Maya, a musician and artist who also worked with music as therapy.  Maya wrote the poetic prose for Sing and Hum and vibrantly illustrated the book.  Maya spent three years researching music and sound therapy in producing the CD soundtrack and composing the orchestration to the original guitar by Erik Sorensen.  The fun inspiring message of Sing and Hum became a reality.
