Mrs. Storch began her songwriting career in 1973 as a Freshie in High School - composing music and lyrics for school and camp. As Jewish novels were published, Dina became the songwriter for these now popular plays - Dovid Meyer, Bamboo Cradle, Shefford, as well as her own original scripts.
In 1995, Mrs. Storch initiated a program of recorded tefillos in
proper pronunciation and, of course, in song. The program Shirei
Tefilos Yisrael is used in many schools across the U.S.
She has compiled songs for almost every educational topic, such as
tehillim, beiur tefila,
Halacha and yedios klaliyos. She is the ‘go to’ person for schools that wish to turn their ‘lesson’ into ‘song’. Tunes vary vary from existing ones to original compositions.
In her music classes, Dina brings Shabbos alive in the classrooms
with her program Mizmor Shir Leyom Hashabbos. The excitement the
students bring home from music class, transfers into a love for
davening and singing on Shabbos, as well. Many tefillos have added
English translations so the children connect better with them.
Mrs. Storch has produced her own album, There’s A Place In My Mind
sung by Avrumie Flam, Yehuda and Dov Levine. Some of the MBD
favorites were also composed by her - Someday,
Bird of Hope, Daddy Dear, Crack of Dawn, Candles. Having composed
close to 650 songs, she plans to embark on an educational
contribution to the world, through song, as she prepares to share
her compositions in albums, videos, picture books and school and
camp projects.
