Well, here it is! I've released my new CD, FUNdamentals! Music and Movement for Children on iTunes, Amazon and various preschools in Los Angeles. The album was inspired by my time working with FUNdamentals of Music and Movement and promoting the goals of learning the basics about music and what kids should know about movement.
The first 8 songs deal with the basics of music - knowing about the chorus and verses of a song; rhyming; vocal warm-ups, notes and chords; the C scale; rhythm; dynamics; and sorting musical instruments.
The next 8 songs are all about movement - different ways to move; using one's imagination to do so many things, like be a bird or play at the beach; dancing with different body parts; stretching and yoga.
I wrote all the songs (except for those that are well known in the public domain) and played all the instruments and produced the album myself. I had so much fun making this record! I'm just glad (and relieved) to finally be putting it out there - I hope everyone enjoys it and gets something out of it.
