New Kids Music Just Posted
There aren’t a lot of words on the very colorful website for Allister & The Nightlight, so we can’t give you much background on those who created it. However, we can tell you that you’ll find cute characters and some very infectious music for kids there. And…that’s really what it’s all about, isn’t it? And in the meantime, you’ll want to grab the song Wake Up from their self-titled album. [Filed under A]
From the first strains of the song My Friend Luke, you’ll notice that Copper Tom doesn’t make music that sounds like “everybody else”. His loosey-goosey groove is almost reminiscent of the Sixties. His album is called Get The Beat!, and I feel like I’m already well on my way to getting it! Oh, and don’t miss the cute video of the song. [Field under C]
Tessa Pfeifer is the founder and CEO of Dancercise Kids, a successful kids’ dance and fitness business, and has been singing and dancing since she was old enough to walk and talk. Her classes, and music performed by Tessa & Dancercise Kids helps kids build strong minds and happy hearts, with an emphasis on manners, nutrition, movement and other positive themes. It’s not the least bit hard to imagine lots of kids movin’ to the groove of the song, Diggity Bone. [Filed under D]
DidiPop returns to the front page of our site again, this time with 3 more songs from her terrific self-titled album: the cool jazz feel of I Did My Homework, learning to speak French with Merci and The Cool Alphabet Song (see the video). [Filed under D]
Fern Forest is back as well…with a fun Fifties-ish song from her album called Fern, The Stars and The Planets. It’s called The Galactic Hop-Bop. [Filed under F]
A self-proclaimed “funky mother of two”, Lauren Busch Singer, was frustrated with a lack of musical variety in kids music, so she set out to do something about it…by drafting New Orleans musicians to help her create an album called Funky Kidz. She’s brought us fully-funkified versions of two classic favorites to share with you: Froggy Went A-Courtin’ and This Land Is Your Land [Filed under F]
Janyse (“Jen-niece”) is an award-winning singer/songwriter/actress (performing cartoon voices for programs like Strawberry Shortcake and My Little Pony) and the creator of The Magic of Think. The album is designed to help empower kids through self-confidence and self-respect. Tap into the rollicking fun energy of her two songs: Boogie Oogie Man and Stomp [Filed under J]
Madeline L Pots seems determined to make you hungry with her in-depth analysis of the amazing variety of noodles in Italian cuisine (fettucini, manicotti, ravioli, macaroni, tortellini and many more!) in The Pasta Song, from her album Grandpa’s Car. [Filed under P]
In addition to the French earlier, we’re also venturing into the world of Spanish-speaking children’s music this time with Argentine native Mariana Iranzi and her album Aventura Collage. She’s a Berklee College of Music graduate and brings her talents on bass, guitar and percussion to her kids music. She’s brought us a lullaby called Buenas Noches and a song about a woodpecker called Pajaro Carpintero! [Filed under I]

My kids absolutely loved the Allister & The Nightlight. The characters are so addictive for the kids and they kept wanting more

This is great kids music you have posted here. Fun, and musically rich, not too hard on the ears, and easy for parents to enjoy as well. I don’t think especially the youngest children need to be exposed to much of today’s mainstream music, and these selections, plus the others posted provide a fun alternative.

As a young aspiring musician myself, I find any attempt to inspire children to create music is wonderful. I think this is a great forum for teaching music.

Music has the ability to sharpen young minds. All children should be exposed to music as young as possible.

I bought Fern, The Stars and The Planets from Amazon for my daughter a month ago. And she really got crazy about it. I’m going to buy the other series, The Stars At Putters Rock and The Planets.

My kid adores this music. I also like to listen to it while playing with him. We even dance together. Besides it has some old nostalgic touch that makes me feel very positive and a little bit sad.
