Well-known children's musician Laurie Berkner bursts onto the children's music video scene with the energy and enthusiasm of her concert stage appearances fully intact. The Laurie Berkner Band, comprised of Laurie Berkner on vocals and guitar, Brian Mueller on bass and vocals, and Susie Lampert on keyboard and vocals (joined sporadically by Bob Golden on drums and additional instruments), is an accomplished group of musicians who create and perform whimsical, catchy children's songs in a folksy rock style. From the playful rhymes that declare Tuesday "snooze day" in "I'm Gonna Catch You" to the absurd image of fish taking showers and brushing their teeth in "The Goldfish," Laurie Berkner's songs celebrate a child's love of the ridiculous. The uninhibited trio performs live onstage ("Under a Shady Tree") or within simply animated scenes ("Bumblebee--Buzz, Buzz, Buzz") and the songs are undisputedly catchy--so catchy that many parents sheepishly admit to humming or even singing Laurie Berkner's songs full voice even when their children aren't around. In these days of splashy animation and over-thought, overly-glitzy children's music videos, it's a real treat to enjoy a simple production that features songs that kids love performed by musicians who appear to be having just as much fun as their young audiences.

Come and Make a Circle 2: More Terrific Tunes for Kids, Teachers and Families

Come and Make a Circle 2: More Terrific Tunes for Kids, Teachers and Families Review



Come and Make a Circle 2: More Terrific Tunes for Kids, Teachers and Families, is Susan Salidor’s sixth and newest recording for children and the second in a series of recordings devoted to the early childhood classroom. Its predecessor, the first Come and Make a Circle, proved to be a hit with educators and children alike and garnered multiple prestigious awards from organizations like Parents’ Choice, NAPPA, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, and iParenting Media. “Circle Time” is the name given to the part of the preschool day when young children sit in a circle to discuss the day’s activities and to sing with their teacher. All of the songs on Come and Make a Circle 2 will delight young listeners and be a welcome addition to the classroom repertoire. The 20 songs are divided into six categories: Let’s Sing, Favorite Fingerplays, Rhythm & Rhyme, Songs That Teach, Old Favorites, and Time to End. Old favorites include terrific new interpretations of Mary Had a Little Lamb, Miss Lucy Had a Baby, and Home on the Range. Original songs include Hello Children! (a greeting song), I Saw Five Fish (a counting song), and Before You Were Born. There’s even a Come and Make a Circle 2 “Teaching Tips” page at www.SusanSalidor.com with a host of ideas for classroom use. Like all of Susan’s recordings, Come and Make a Circle 2 enjoys the same high quality of musicianship fans have come to expect. Children’s voices and engaging arrangements compliment the messages of love, accomplishment, and playfulness found in all of Susan’s recordings. Susan’s CDs are available online at Amazon.com, CDBaby.com, and www.SusanSalidor.com, in addition to fine book and toy stores.
