Ann Rachlin Story CDs
Ann Rachlin, a pioneer in educating music to children, is also the founder of Fun With Music. She has taught members of the royal family (including princes William and Harry) as well as the children of other celebrities.
Born in Leeds, England in 1933, Ann Rachlin is the widow of the American conductor/pianist Ezra Rachlin who died in 1995. In 1985 Ann became a recording artist and now produces her own CDs on the Fun with Music Limited label. Ann Rachlin's recordings include stories of the Russian ballets, Lives of the Great Composers, and Musical Adventures. A successful writer, Ann Rachlin's ten "Famous Children" books are international best sellers and are translated into 17 languages.
When husband Ezra Raclin died in 1995, Ann was determined to continue her work, with the invaluable help of Iain Kerr who has worked with her for more than 25 years. Ann was the subject of "This Is Your Life" in 1996 when Lord Menuhin, Sir Georg Solti and Lord Runcie as well as many of Rachlin's former pupils greeted her and paid tribute to her life's work with children and music. As Founder of The Beethoven Fund for Deaf Children, Ann Rachlin was awarded the M.B.E. by the Queen in 1986 for her services to deaf children.
Ann Rachlin now lives near Rye in East Sussex where she is active in theatrical and musical circles and is in demand as a speaker.
