Be part of Music Together’s “One Little Owl” Music Video
We’re making a new music video of the Music Together classic “One Little Owl”—and your family can be part of it! All you have to do is film yourselves singing the song and send it in. We’ll create the final video using as many family clips as possible, and it will debut in the summer edition of our family e-newsletter. Plus, everyone who uploads a video will be entered into a drawing for some great prizes, including a free semester of Music Together!

The Music Together "Family"
When Music Together coauthors Ken Guilmartin and Lili Levinowitz were organizing the formal recordings of the song collections in the early 1990s, they decided to cast the singers as a “family” in order to reinforce the importance of parents and children singing and making music together. That’s why we have Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, and Uncle Gerry.
