Miss Amy Underwater CD

(1) This is probably one of the few CDs where your very young child can sing along with all the songs. Why? Because young children have a small singing range. They can only physically sing from about middle C to the A above middle C, so all our songs are in that range. (2) Are only 10 notes boring? NO. In selecting songs, we picked from "tried and true" songs that have withstood the test of time. We've included songs families have loved for generations such as "Get On Board" and a "Greek Dance" tune. But we have also carefully selected a few choice newly composed songs like "Hootchy Kootchy Dance" and our "Parenting Jig". You get all the fun, variety and musical diversity you enjoy and young children thrive on in one CD!(3) Children love variety so our CDs give them lots to decipher musically with different tonalities, meters and musical styles. We've included songs in Major and minor tonalities plus some more unusual scales. Most of the music that children hear has rhythms that "move in two's" so we've also included music that moves in three's, five's and seven's. A young child's musical mind soaks up all these differences easily and it provides a rich foundation for future music learning. (4) Our CD includes World class musicians playing real instruments. (There are not a lot of synthesized sounds on our recordings). Musicians like Andy Stein, violinist on Prairie Home Companion, Grammy-nominated Irish musician, Seamus Egan, nationally sought after bass/guitar player, Jeff Lee Johnson and master percussionist, "Doc" Leonard Gibbs. ...
