Regina Noel Downing is a private music instructor in a small town in Iowa. With multiple degrees in music and education, she has built her own music studio where she teaches students of all ages and abilities. A wife and mother of two children (and 3 dogs), Regina happened upon writing somewhat accidentally. That accident turned out to be a passion, and a way for Regina to follow a calling to assist children and families struggling to connect.

Regina found with teaching young children (and in parenting her own), that there is a real need for accessible tools to assist parents, teachers, and caregivers with connecting, when connecting is difficult. Songs, encouraging words, and comforting touch, were by far the strongest tools. Inspired by children’s educator, Mr. Rogers, Regina has been writing children’s “story song books” with the goal of simply – connectedness.

In her free time, Regina enjoys weight training, exercise, singing, playing piano, movies with her husband, and snuggles with her 2 children, Simone and Charles. The dogs add quite a lot of excitement to the household as well, and have had quite the time breeding puppies during the pandemic!
