“This amusing CD introduces children to classical music through the story of Rapunzel. With Keith Torgan narrating and playing the guitar, and Barbara Siesel playing the beautiful flute (along with pianist Jessica Krash), kids will delight in the works of classical composers like Mozart, Mendelssohn and Chopin while being caught up in a delightful tale!”

Susan Heim on Parenting
Parenting author editor of the Chicken Soup for the Soul

“… a wonderful interweaving of a modern (and very clever) re-telling of the Rapunzel fairy tale … this version is a big improvement on the original Rapunzel fairy tale! This CD definitely does the trick!”
Growing a Baby in Seattle: Reviews

“… the music is enchanting…It might be considered a kid's CD, but everyone in the family can enjoy listening …”
New Age Mama – Review

“…In just a few days of receiving the CD we had listened to Green Golly’s story three times! Keith Torgan is the narrator of the story and does an amazing job of appealing to young children. He has a grand storytelling voice and says the silliest things with such majesty that it’s hard not to be completely captivated. Siesel’s performance was inspiring. She’s bound to inspire children to want to create music. I want to learn to play the flute now!”
Because Babies Grow Up

“ … It's a new, funny take on the classic tale and it will have you and your kids laughing while enjoying the magical sound of the flute, piano and other classic instruments along the way.”
Penny Pinching Mama

“… my four year old was captivated...which was amazing, because it was strictly listening (no picture on the TV.). She loved the story and I am certain your child will too! A bonus for you...you can feel good that you're helping grow your child's brain and appreciation for classical like stories and music. “
One Bored Mommy

“We have listened to this CD in the car, in the house during the day and at night time. I look forward to the continued listening of Green Golly & Her Golden Flute. The end of the story was my favorite part, it was hilarious...you will have to check it out for yourself!”
Coupon Clippin’ Mommy

“… Siesel's musical talent with the flute is amazing! If you buy the CD only to listen to her play Flight of the Bumblebee (Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov) it would be well worth the money. I never knew the flute could be played so beautifully …the flute recital including 10 beautifully played classical pieces from the greatest composers of the 19th and 20th centuries will be listened to again and again and again.

“There are even some selections that will work really well for ballet recital pieces! I would recommend buying this CD as a great way to introduce children to some beautifully played classical music.”
Solutions Sleuth

“For a few years, we regularly attended the Phoenix Symphony children's concerts. It wasn't in our budget this year, but this CD reminded me of the types of concerts put on for the children's concerts. I hope we are able to renew our season's tickets next year, as we missed the live music performances this year.

Everyone (even Lydia!)[my daughter who likes songs not stories]) enjoyed this CD and would happily listen to it again. Nate [my son]asked if he could have it on his mp3 player so he could listen to "all the beautiful music over and over." Colin [my other son]said that he found the story funny, and wondered if there were more stories about the traveling gypsy.”
My Little Patch of Sun

“ … the perfect opportunity to spawn imagination and have your family enjoying the beauty of the piano, the flute and other classical instruments as the story progresses. It is the perfect collection to introduce children, or anyone, to the beauty of Classical music. My children listened intently and giggled to the story.”
Mommy’s Memorandum

“Flute Sweet & Tickletoon have found a way to combine classical music, storytelling and comedy and make it an enjoyable experience for children of all ages. Green Golly & Her Golden Flute is a clever spoof of the story of Rapunzel … performed beautifully on the flute by Barbara Siesel with piano accompaniment by Jessica Krash.”

“ … Keith Torgan does an amazing job narrating the story and bringing the characters to life. His comedic energy captures your attention right from the beginning and keeps you fully engrossed throughout.”

“ … We enjoyed the story immensely and what a fun ending! The music is simply beautiful to listen to. I will put it on just to listen and relax. What a fun way to introduce your children to the joy and enchantment of classical music. Although intended as a children's CD this is one to be enjoyed by all - young or old.”

The Flute Sweet & Tickletoon Times ... Summer 2009

2009-06-01T11:28:00.003-05:00

“Music is one of the ways we make sense of our lives, one of the ways in which we express feelings when we have no words, a way for us to understand things with our hearts when we cannot with our minds.”
Dr. Karl Paulnack, director of the Boston Conservatory’s Music Division

Oh my darling! Oh my darling! Oh my darling San Francisco!!!
Flute Sweet & Tickletoon love San Francisco and fortunately for us San Francisco loves us right back! On the 4th of June we’re heading to our favorite city (other than our own Big Apple) to begin the 2009 Bay Area Tour, but before we do even one single performance, we’re making a new CD! “Little Kids Little Songs” will include all the songs in the show and more. Of course we consider ourselves very lucky because we’re going to be working with a new producer. A fellow by the name of Bob Bralove, who has worked with the likes of both “The Grateful Dead” and Stevie Wonder! Wowie Zowie! The new “Little Kids Little Songs” is in the making!

The Hub of Power
In July we’re traveling some more. First we’ll be in the Washington DC area (hopefully we’ll catch a glimpse of the Obama’s) then to Hartford County in Connecticut and finally back to the New York Metropolitan area. Our schedule is available directly below this post.

No Harmonization without Representation
We are very fortunate to have discovered and been discovered by a new manager! Robert Baird of Baird Artists Management will be representing us for all our children’s programs throughout the US, Canada and Europe! Find our more about Robert and his other wonderful artists at www.Bairdartists.com. We're thrilled to be working with this fine agency. We’re also happily working with the wonderful Alexis Booher, of Bumblebee Artists, who now concentrates solely on “Now We Can Sing", our concert program about immigration and transcending difficult times. You can still reach her at www.bumblebeeartists.com.

“The Fund for Schools & Libraries with no Funding”
Children need all the music, theatre and art they can experience and these challenging financial times have been quite difficult for presenters of the arts, especially schools and libraries. For this reason Flute Sweet & Tickletoon have launched "The Fund for Schools and Libraries with No Funding” This fund is making it possible for us to contribute our services to venues with little or no money, so that the children in these underfunded areas aren't without music and theatre. If you would like to be a part of this wonderful program and lend your support contact us at FluteSweetandTickletoon@gmail.com.

All funding is done through Rakeiho Musical Offerings: a not-for-profit organization.

Mini-Money
We know that most people want to make a difference and that most everybody strives to be generous at heart. However, not everybody is a large philanthropic organization! That is why in addition to all our other activities we are holding a series of micro fund-raisers. What are they you may ask? Micro fund-raisers are held in the homes of friends and fans. Each host invites a small group of friends who pay a small admission (ten to twenty dollars). Flute Sweet & Tickletoon will inform, while they perform and enlighten the attendees about many valuable and worthwhile projects. The money goes to fund "The Fund for Schools and Libraries without Funding", as well as new film and TV projects. We are in the midst of completing the screenplay for our animated version of Green Golly & Her Golden Flute. Stay tuned for updates on these exciting ventures!

Micro funders become part of our special friends and will receive tickets, CD's and DVD’s as they are available!! If you would like to host a micro fund-raiser please let us know!

Wishing you a wonderful, joyous, healthy, music and artful summer!

The Tugboat Times ... Winter 2009

2008-12-24T07:15:00.009-05:00

“It’s easy to love on a perfect summer day
When the sky is blue and sunny
It’s not so easy when it’s cold and gray
And there isn’t any heat
And you haven’t any food
And you’re running out of friends and money
It really isn’t fun or funny …”
From Green Golly & the Treasure of Light by Keith Torgan

2008 is disappearing and although 2009 may not be the easiest of beginnings it certainly is a time for love, light and creativity. We wish you all of these things and more. Here’s to the challenge.

Where We’ve Been …
October saw the premiere of Green Golly and her Golden Flute for symphony with the Oakland Civic Orchestra in California. It was wonderful performing with the orchestra for a huge audience of excited children and parents. As always we had a delightful time performing all of the 21 performances throughout the Bay Area.

November and December’s schedule brought us back to New York where we performed and revised our holiday sequel to “Green Golly & Her Golden Flute”, "Green Golly and the Treasure of Light".

Where we’re going …
Come January we'll be on the road again, first to Cleveland, where we’ll appear in the International Performing Arts for Youth Conference aka IPAY. We’ll be Spotlighting our pre-school show "Little Kids Little Songs" to hundreds of presenters who are on the lookout for great programs for children and families. If you’re there you can catch us on Friday January 23rd at 9:45 PM. Our wonderful representative, Alexis, will be in booth number 33. We'll also be on the conference floor of APAP at the Hilton Hotel in NYC from January ninth through the thirteenth. Visit us at the Bumblebee Artists Booth!

Escape from New York …
Hello to three weeks of performances in sunny, warm Florida. Hooray! We’re premiering a special addition of Little Kids Little Songs at the Adrienne Arsht Center (formerly the Miami Performing Arts Center) in Miami on February 7th at 11:00 AM.

We actually have a whole slew of performances in Florida including the premiere of Keith's new solo show for grown-ups, "I Got out of Bed! Now What?" If you happen to be in South Florida for Valentines Day you can see him at the John Knox Village in Pompano Beach. Now don’t be too concerned we’re planning lots of R&R on the beach too!!

…and back again
For those of you planning to stay up north you’ll be able to see Keith twice a month at the NYC Cabaret "Don't Tell Mama" beginning in February. It will be easier than ever to hear Keith's wonderful, witty original songs and stories!! Stay tuned for times and dates.

And since our hearts are there anyway …
March takes us back to San Francisco where we will be recording "Little Kids Little Songs". Randall Horton (Duke Ellington’s arranger for “Black, Brown & Beige) will be playing piano with us and collaborating on the arrangements, and Bob Bralove (who’s worked with both Stevie Wonder and The Grateful Dead) will be co-producing and engineering.

Classical music, cabaret and history…
On Tuesday March 31st at 8 PM the full length version of "Now We Can Sing" will be onstage at the Rockland Jewish Community Center in Nyack, NY. Visit http://www.bumblebeeartists.com/ and click on the Tugboat Music link for a preview of the concert.

What’s New??
Other exciting projects in the works include a new internet television project and online flute lessons with master flutist Barbara Siesel.

^^^^^^
Please feel free to drop us a line or a squiggle or even an idea.
Have a wonderful holiday season and a joyous New Year.

“… when it’s holiday time
There is love in the air
And a feeling of friendship’s abounding.
When it’s holiday time
There is hope everywhere
And the goodness in the hearts
of the people on the earth
is astounding!”
From Green Golly & the Treasure of Light by Keith Torgan

Love, Barbara and Keith

"Little Kids Little Songs is the perfect toddler event ... pure magic! Barbara's amazing gold flute pushes the program from run of the mill into the stellar zone! [Their] charming costumes, disarming "shyness", right-on-target material, and easy rapport with the little ones is quite remarkable. The world needs more people like Flute Sweets & Tickletoons!"

"Master performers ... Barbara Siesel and Keith Torgan gave magnificent song and story performances. Energetic, charming, melodic and funny both Barbara and Keith are extraordinary musicians and storytellers."
Tim Troy, Head of Children's Programming, San Francisco Public Library

"The educational content is right on target. The classical pieces are fun and hold the [children's] attention. Green Golly has become an instant folk hero at our school."
Don Costellow, Instrumental and Band teacher, PS/MS 29 Bronx, NY

"Rarely do I see children so drawn into a performance. They were absolutely spellbound."
Doug Poswencyk, Library Director, Watchung Public Library

"Wonderful entertainment ... a delightful sampling of classical music that related well to the school's music program ... the children were so mesmerized that the snow flurries didn't even distract them!"
Jo Ann Myers, Stony Brook School, North Plainfield, New Jersey

“It was a hit. The youngsters loved it. Hopefully there will be another Flute Sweets & Tickletoons offering”
Barbara Bedell Times Herald Record

"They did such a great job ... they are true professionals. I've never seen anything like it - Keith has the ability to immediately bond with each little kid; he became a little kid as part of his performance and they loved it. I plan to have them back soon"
M. Borchers Head of Children's Programming, Monroe Library, CT.

Headin' South ...

2007-07-13T06:41:00.000-05:00

On the 5th of July we returned from a month in the San Francisco Bay area ... 18 performances in all ... Sonoma, San Francisco, Salano, Alameida and Santa Cruz! Our audiences were wonderful. Upon our return to the east coast we performed for the children of the Town of Oyster Bay ... appearing under the open blue skies in the town parks of Glen Head, Oyster Bay, Woodbury, Plainview, Massapequa and Farmingdale. After a few days rest we're going back on the road again - we're off to Montgomery County Maryland and Fairfax County Virginia! Here's the itinerary:
