Welcome to Quackadoodledoo

Ed Cunliff, Gina Lopez, April Haulman

Quackadoodledoo is a group of three professional educators who are collaborating to make music fun and educational for young children, in both English and Spanish.  “Quackadoodledoo” is the title of their first CD and also the title of one of the songs on that CD.

Quackadoodledoo sings and performs both original and traditional songs focusing on topics of interest to young children between the ages of 3-7 years old.  The music incorporates teachable themes for parents and teachers, especially useful for language development.  Many of the songs are performed in both English and Spanish, some in only English, and some in only Spanish.

The Musicians

Gina Lopez plays guitar and sings most of the songs.  She also wrote all of the songs on the first CD and many that will be on the second one.  Gina also performs in other musical groups, playing American and Latin music, including Mariachi music. Learn more about Gina.

Ed Cunliff sings harmony and plays mandolin and banjitar (a cross between a guitar and banjo).  He is also an accomplished guitar player and he builds and repairs mandolins and guitars. Learn more about Ed.

April Haulman plays simple percussion instruments but likes to sing in the car and shower when no one else can hear.  She provides some vocal back-up and harmony on the second CD coming in 2008. Learn more about April.
