"Toucan You Can" is sure to please both children and adults. In a recent review of the album, Bob Makin, staff writer for "The Courier News",Gannett,NJ wrote, "Donna Lisa doesn''t write the typical brain draining sap that often passes for children''s music. She writes sophisticated melodies, catchy beats and edu-taining lyrics that won''t go over kids heads." In an article in "The Westfield Leader", Westfield,NJ, Kerrianne Spellman Court called, "Toucan You Can" "...a marvelous new album for children. Donna''s work simply shines! I''ve been singing the title song all day."
The playful quality of Donna''s songwriting invites children to share an adventure with her. Her melodies are simple, but interesting. Her style is predominantly folk with elements of calypso, southwestern, blues, country and pop. These tunes engage children and allow them to easily sing along. Donna''s lyrics paint memorable pictures of animals, places, imaginary characters and activities that intrigue children.
Parents enjoy the humor and imagery of the songs and, they too, find themselves singing along. Many are pleasantly surprised that Donna''s lyrics can be informative and stimulate questions and learning. The album also features pretty harmonies, delightful children''s voices, real bird and animal sounds and skillful guitar, piano and harmonica solos.
Donna has had considerable experience with writing and performing for children. She published stories and songs with Chappell Music, CAM USA, and Taylor Associates. She wrote a musical fantasy for children, titled "Marvin and the Beasts", which was produced in Davis, California. Donna has performed in clubs and coffee houses throughout the New York area. She has also performed in schools, in shows designed for children and worked for a toy manufacturer to promote a product. Currently several of Donna''s songs are being held by an internationally known children''s artist for an upcoming recording project.
Donna majored in "Creative Expression Through Writing and Art with a Focus on Children" at the University of California. She took specialized courses in songwriting and storywriting for children at The Songwriters Workshop, The Songwriters Guild, The Writer''s Voice, The Institute for Children''s Literature, The New School and New York University.
