Kid-Pan-Alley friend and mentor - Paul Reisler

Kid Pan Alley: Walt Lofstrom, creator of Song-CAMP has attended numerous Song-writing workshops and has been greatly inspired by his friend and mentor, Paul Reisler - the founder and artistic creator of Kid Pan Alley. Although Song-CAMP is a completely separate and much different venue than Kid Pan Alley, both projects inspire children's creativity through the art of music. The Kid Pan Alley website is included here as an example of another very successful children's music venue.
