Describing her music as “interactive and engaging,” Shukla vividly details how her tunes invite children to dance while learning educational concepts. Seamlessly incorporated into the lively experience, her songs encourage kids to twist to musical chairs, dance to colors, stretch, count, and even sing phonics words.
The seeds of music were sown early for Shukla, finding their roots in her intimate harmonies with her twin sister at the tender age of 4. By her teenage years, she started creating original compositions. Having embarked on a full-time music career after her formal education in theater and music from Florida State University, the miraculous development of her non-verbal son through her music led her down the path of musical education. Ever since the success of her initial educational songs for her son on YouTube, she’s worked passionately to create a comprehensive educational music curriculum spanning the vital 0-8 age bracket.
The profound passion that Patty Shukla brings to her craft, coupled with her dedication, resonate in her every song and video. As she continues to shape young learners’ lives through her music and educational resources, she remains committed to her vision. From her glorious past to her enthusiastic present, she echoes a single sentiment: Play is the most effective way of imparting developmental skills to young children, making every moment of their learning journey enjoyable, engaging and enriching.
