Twin Sisters is a women-owned company started by twin sisters Kim Mitzo Thompson and Karen Mitzo Hilderbrand. Kim has a Masters degree in "Integrating the Arts in the Elementary School Curriculum." Karen is a graduate of Purdue University with a degree in Industrial Engineering. Both sisters are avid music lovers, taking after their father who has been a member of the Shaker Symphony for over forty years.
Using her musical background in the classroom, Kim taught her first graders the days of the week, months of the year, and basic phonetic sounds with music. "Students who had difficulty learning basic concepts found success when learning with music," says Kim. When Kim began teaching third grade, she decided to review the mathematical curriculum in order to familiarize herself with the new math program. Realizing she needed to teach her students multiplication, she started brainstorming unique and fun ways to teach this concept. And that's when it all began.
Karen and Kim wrote "Rap With The Facts," a rhyming, rhythmic song to teach children multiplication facts. "We all know students memorize their favorite song on the radio in a matter of minutes. Why not capitalize on this phenomena to teach basic skills?" So with the success of her students and a little encouragement from Karen, Kim decided to take this discovery a little further. In 1987, Karen and Kim started Twin Sisters.
Today the company has won over 120 Major National Product Awards and distinctions for quality, age-appropriateness, educational excellence, and overall fun. Heading into the next century, Twin Sisters plans to be an innovator in quality children's music and curriculum products.
