My name is Ana. I was born and raised in Colombia by parents that really believed in the advantages of being bilingual. After using the benefits of this gift as a professional in Public Relations, I am now dedicated to promoting bilingualism in my community, while raising bilingual children in our bicultural family in California.
​
I composed the songs in the album Short + Fun Spanish Beats, for children learning Spanish to have fun while imitating and repeating words, phrases, and sounds, as well as keeping them actively moving while singing to the beats of catchy and high quality music for kids. I created this website to provide, as well, additional resources for parents raising bilingual kids and offer some fun activities for teachers that believe in the power of music to teach languages.
​
Music has been my teaching tool to keep my students engaged and offer them memorable and movement-filled learning experiences, as well as one of the best ways to keep my bilingual kids interested on learning more Spanish and have access to cultural and language diversity.
​
I hope my songs will do the same for you as you introduce your children or students to the second most widely spoken language in the world.
