Patti Lozano has degrees in both Spanish and Music Education. She has taught elementary music and Spanish, junior high music and Spanish and ESL in Houston, Texas since the late '70s, and was honored as Houston's "Outstanding Young Educator" in 1982.
Mrs. Lozano has always loved to compose songs that reinforce language concepts in the fun way for her Spanish students. She discovered early on that students retain and are able to recall effortlessly any vocabulary and structures from songs stored in their brains.
Besides teaching, Mrs. Lozano also has been a regional and national language consultant, as well as an author for several well-known publishers of educational materials.
Dolo Publications, Inc. was born as a result of Mrs. Lozano's five year stint as master television teacher and lesson/scriptwriter in an elementary Spanish video series. She composed original songs, chants and games for every unit, which soon proved to be the students' favorite section of every lesson. Before long, parents and students were requesting copies of the songs to play at home and in the car. Hence, Mrs. Lozano published the first book of songs, entitled Music That Teaches Spanish! A second volume soon followed, appropriately titled, More Music That Teaches Spanish!
Mrs. Lozano currently balances her time with writing projects, part-time teaching and mothering three school-age sons. She enjoys presenting workshops to school districts around the country on "Music and Theater Arts as Instructional Tools", and, always with guitar in hand, is a frequent performer and speaker at state and regional language conventions.
