Since 1996, Lisa Baldwin's educational music program Learning Through Song has delighted and educated pre-school and K-6 children, as well as older children and seniors. Learning Through Song integrates life skills, cultural heritage, creativity, and intellectual development through the enjoyment and understanding of various musical styles, combined with reading, movement and other group activities.

In March, 2008, Melinda Mills (Lisa’s sister) joined LTS for performances in and around Alabama. Melinda and Lisa are available separately or in collaboration.

Lisa and Melinda are experienced workshop leaders; presentations for teacher in-service training, parent-teacher-student organizations, and other groups can be arranged.

Learning Through Song is featured in the 2005—2007 North Carolina Arts Council Touring Artist Directory.
