Julie Albright, Author, and Vincent Fago, Illustrator, have been working together since 1991 to create the Rabbit-Man’s Music Book Series.

JULIE ALBRIGHT has been teaching piano to children and adults for over twenty years. She has learned to recognize the fine line between Hard and Too Hard for a student. Something that is Hard can be a stimulating challenge for the learner, whereas something that is Too Hard brings discouragement and a feeling of defeat.

Her materials and games bring the Too Hard things back into the realm of the merely Hard. When she started working with Vincent Fago, they discovered that her music games and his rabbits were an unbeatable combination.

Ms. Albright has a BA in music from Western Reserve University and did graduate work at the University of Minnesota, and ever since those student days has been active in both the musical and theatrical fields. For Ms. Albright the Music Forest full of rabbits is an ever changing theater production on paper, giving her a wonderful opportunity to use games and activities to help students enjoy the challenges and steer clear of the possible defeats of learning about music.

VINCENT FAGO’s long career in the arts began as an animator for Fleischer Paramount Studios where he worked on Popeye and Betty Boop cartoons and two full length feature films. His long association with rabbits began when he wrote and illustrated Peter Rabbit as a half page Sunday cartoon strip at the New York Herald Tribune for many years. This was syndicated to newspapers in the U.S. and internationally,.

Although other characters and work intervened, including writing and illustrating children’s books for Golden Press, a book of his own whimsical poems and illustrations, Zhin or Zhen, published by Charles Tuttle and Co., and the production of over a hundred illustrated literary classics for the Pendulum Press Illustrated Classics Series, Mr. Fago went back to one of his early loves in developing the graphics and illustrations for the Rabbit-Man’s Music Books Series.  Rabbit-Man will live on, despite Vincent Fago's death from cancer in June 2002.
