Learning and Arts for Fun!
New release!
has special importance for very young children because the music has been carefully selected to contain all of the 44 different sounds (phonemes) young children need to hear in order to speak (and eventually read) English fluently.
Students and children who are older will have the opportunity to enrich their vocabulary while enjoying comforting music from many different cultures. And if you are a busy parent or teacher, taking a few moments to relax with this CD might just do you a world of good.

.................................Let’s
hear what others have to say about this CD:
.
“As a longtime educator and curriculum developer,
I want to thank you for the
wonderful CD for babies. I have already given it to 7 newborn babies and a
toddler
as gifts, and the parents all say: We can’t stop listening to this music.
It really calms
our babies. The music is also soothing for tired parents! As a parent myself
and someone who
has worked in early childhood literacy for national organizations like Girl
Scouts
USA, I am glad attention is finally being paid to infants and the development
of early
language acquisition through music, the first language that research tells
us is the
pre-cursor to all things verbal.
.....I think this CD should be made available
in all major outlets for children’s books and
merchandise, and in maternity wards, as well as early childhood and day care
centers
as well as schools of education. Best of luck; I’m looking forward to
giving this CD to
every new baby I come to meet.”
- Sheila K. Lewis, Manager, Marketing & Development
for Hadassah
“My 2 year old really loves it and dances around
to the Playtime Songs. The singers’
voices are gorgeous. Congratulations!”
- Leslie Waite, mother of two young boys
“I use this CD whenever I want my children to
feel soothed… at indoor recess, while
working independently, and during quiet times. They really enjoy the CD, sing
along
to favorites, are relaxed and soothed all the while without realizing that
their neuro
pathways are being continually wired for the phonemes we use while reading,
writing,
speaking and listening…a painless way for learning and laughter to occur.
- Paige Boles, Kindergarten teacher: duel certification
in elementary ed. & special ed.
Masters in learning disabilities with lots of experience helping at risk readers
and
writers, pre-K through 5th grade.
“I really love this
CD. It has helped my baby and me settle down with the timeless selections
and wonderful music. Thank you!!!!”
- Marjorie Roen, new mother
I
have listened to your music and find it utterly delightful. It is gentle, loving
and very
comforting. I can see why babies love it!” -
Jennifer Brickmayer, former Senior Extension Associate in the department of
Human Development at Cornell University, she is a childcare and parent educational

curricula and a publication “Bookstart,” co-authored with Bonnie
Jo Westendorf,

children.
“My Kindergarten class was doing activities based
on Nursery Rhymes when I purchased
your CD. The songs were great reinforcement for your curriculum and helped
out 5 year
olds learn their nursery rhymes and some new songs, too in a most enjoyable
way.
“The children often request that I play the CD at rest time to help
them relax. We are all
enjoying this wonderful selection of songs. Thank you.”
- Beverly Lennon, Kindergarten teacher and choral singer
“I just played your delightful disk. The orchestrations
made me feel like I was floating
on a soft, billowy cloud… Thank you for sharing this beautiful music
with me.”
- Pam Ingber, nurse
“Songs & Lullabies for the Ones we Love introduces
every sound in the English
language through delightful, soothing melodies guaranteed to relax the whole

A perfect gift for every family, especially those who are new to this country…
it is a
labor of love dedicated to the children of the world. I wholeheartedly recommend
it as
a treasure to be shared.”
