Miss Calliope
Miss Calliope (ka-lee-OH-pee) is a songwriter, performer and teaching artist. From elementary school to college she'd write songs, stories and poems to help her ace her tests! In 2020 the Alabama Board of Education commissioned Miss Calliope to write music for an Arts Integration project that would deliver Art, Music and Earth Science to elementary schools in rural areas. Those songs would go on to form the basis of Miss Calliope's interactive, EDutainment show "From the Soil to the Stars." The 60 minute program engages grades 3-5 in song & dance that shows them they are part of the natural world, and encourages them to be the brightest version of themselves!
