Lighton Prize
Each year KCYA selects a teaching artist from our roster to receive the Lighton Prize for Teaching Excellence. Somebody who demonstrates commitment to and excellence in the artistic education of young people. Dino O’Dell is an artist who can manage a gymnasium full of Kindergarteners and never lose his cool. He works tirelessly to improve his work and, most importantly, he inspires kindness in his students and to those of us who are lucky enough to work alongside him.
- Kara Armstrong, Director of Education, Kansas City Young Audiences
Geography
“Our students were singing, laughing, and, all the while, learning about geography. Dino’s experience as an elementary school teacher makes a world of difference.”
- Chris Masterson, Assistant Principal, St. Catherine Laboure Catholic Elementary School, St. Louis, Missouri
Toddlers
“Driving with toddlers will never be the same. They LOVE Itty Bitty Monsters. Not only are they entertained but they are actually LEARNING!”
- Deborah Edwards, Mom, Las Vegas, Nevada
Drums
“I like playing the drums with Dino. He’s a cool dude.”

Joy

- Marilyn Pattison, elementary teacher, Shawnee Mission, Kansas
Crescent Moon
My daughter’s bedtime routine includes brushing her teeth, kissing us goodnight and watching Dino’s ‘Dragonfly’ video. She loves it when the dragonfly falls asleep on the crescent moon.”
- Dr. Chris Powell, Dad, Lake Tapawingo, Missouri
Family
“Dino O’Dell is a bright new voice to family music.”
- www.Parenthood.com
