(PRWEB) February 15, 2004 --Giving teachers the status, support, and recognition they genuinely deserve is perhaps the best way to improve American education, according to many education leaders. Teachers are there for our children, often under trying circumstances and with less than adequate resources and support.

Twin Sisters Productions provides such hard-working, outstanding classroom teachers the much-needed gift of rest, relaxation, and personal renewal with two all-new music CDs -just in time for National PTA Teacher Appreciation Week, May 2-8, 2004.

Thank You, Teacher is 60-minutes of tranquil, hushed original music blended with the comforting sounds of forest nightlife, soft rain, a distant storm, gentle wind, and other nature sounds. The gift CD includes 50 fun, easy, creative ways for the teacher to relax and unwind after school.

R & R For Teacher is 60-minutes of music composed to help the stressed-out teacher to relax, refocus, and reaffirm a love for teaching. The gift CD includes 20 thought-provoking questions, observations, and reminders to help the teacher celebrate a teaching career and all that is really important.

I was a classroom teacher for many years and can relate to the many over-worked, stressed-out teachers I know," says Kim Thompson, president of Twin Sisters Productions. These two new music CDs are a great way for parents and students to encourage and appreciate teachers, helping to reaffirm their love of teaching. The albums are wonderful teacher-to-teacher gifts, too."

The Thank A Teacher Series titles, each with a SRP of $12.99 will be available from educational supply stores, specialty and gift retailers or from Twin Sisters Productions.
