"Paulette's songs - melodic and catchy, but never preachy -- just might inspire your children to work things out."

In this video montage, you will hear the title cut of Come Join the Circle: LessonSongs for Peacemaking, plus you will see studio footage of the wonderful 6th grade students who contributed their voices to the songs. This chorus of students was organized and led by their music teacher, Ms. Lois Shegog, who is the assistant director of the celebrated MUSE Women's Choir in Cincinnati. 

You will also see footage of Paulette, leading groups of children in song and in learning the tools of peacemaking. Please check out the "Performance and Booking" page for information about bringing Paulette to your school, library, church, or after-school program to work with your children!
