Creator Q&A
Tell us about yourself
I am a board certified music therapist, mother of two, and founder of a nonprofit committed to building brain health. I reside in Dubuque, IA in USA.
Mindful Musicians has had such an impact in our community, we are encouraged to try to share the content worldwide because building foundational coping skills from the start is imperative for the sake of our world.
What inspired you to make this title(s)?
Mindful Musicians was born out of a personal loss to suicide. From that loss a commitment to bringing foundational coping skills to our youth was found. The intention behind Mindful Musicians is to teach inner strength and resilience through playfulness.
"I feel this is a safe community for helping kids build independence and an opportunity for us to make a debut into the world. "
Who do you imagine listening to your audio?
Children ages 0-9 years old. I hope they find a way to talk about difficult emotions and conversations. I hope they find strength within themselves and learn they are enough just as they are.
Is there anything different about making audio for Yoto?
I am very grateful for the outlet of Yoto; I feel this is a safe community for helping kids build independence and an opportunity for us to make a debut into the world.
What’s next?
We have six more albums of music in our curriculum that we will be eager to roll out in a strategic timeline!
New to Yoto?
Our carefully connected speakers put kids in control of their listening, learning and play. No cameras. No microphones. No ads.
Creator FAQs
Who are the Creators?
Our Creators are independent makers of music and spoken word content for children and families. Some have established audiences in other places, while others are beginning their audio publishing journey with Yoto. We put out a public call to join this initiative at the start of 2024.
Each of our creators have their own Creator Profiles where you can read more about them and their cards. Just click on their name on their card store page to find out more.
How can I become a Creator?
If you are just starting out, you might first choose to share your digital content for free in the Open Mic section of our community site Yoto Space, where you can start building an audience and get feedback from friendly enthusiasts.
Learn how to make a great Yoto Card by reading our Yoto Creator Guidelines. Learn about what makes the Yoto format unique, and how to create a really engaging and successful title that children will love.

Can I learn more about Creator content before purchasing?
Yes, each card has an extended audio preview so you can listen to a representative sample before making a purchase. You can also read more about a card's creator by clicking on their name on the card page.
How is this different from the free audio on Yoto Space?
Open Mic on Yoto Space is where we nurture those creators who may be just starting out or wanting to experiment with a new title. It's a friendly community where they have space to share content for free, build an audience and get feedback. We are delighted to see several creators make the leap from there to become Creators on the Yoto Store, where they can now monetise their work.
What do I do if I don't like a card that I've purchased?
If it simply isn't to your taste, purchases are covered by our usual returns policy. If you believe a title breaks our Creators Content Guidelines, please report it.
