For Marla Lewis, music is a way of life. She began singing as soon as she learned to talk! At the age of 3, she sang on a national radio talent show called, “Live Like a Millionaire”. She started piano lessons at the age of 5 and guitar a few years later.
As a child, Marla loved to sing songs in many languages from around the world. Her mother, also a singer, introduced her to jazz, Dixieland, and opera. Marla also fell in love with folk and pop music. She wrote her first song at the age of 12, entitled, “Hopeless Love.” It still makes her friends chuckle.
Today, when kids hear Marla's songs, they say:
"Can we hear that AGAIN??"
Many thanks for coming so far to enrich us! I was completely enchanted with your songs and cannot wait to share them with my classes! I grew up in Ithaca, and it was fun to be in the presence of another New Yorker for a few hours. Thank you, thank you for all you do for children!
