Teacher's Session

Teacher's Session

Welcome to the sharing pages for the Make a Wonderful Day Songwriting and CD Experience Artists-in-School Residency program.

This residency is part of the Make a Wonderful Day song project (see www.MakeAWonderfulDay.com) which makes the world a better place through MUSIC.

This theme song, sung by the teachers, was written by Molly Hamilton with the sole purpose to Positively Affect the World Forever!

I would like to salute Pat Dennill and Lynn Brandt who agreed to sing solo in the first and second verses and Catherine Irwin and Cathy Thompson who translated and are featured singing in French on the chorus.

Now, please sit back, listen and enjoy all of the teachers of Eugene Coste while they sing… Make a Wonderful Day.
