CD Reviews
Celebrating Children a winner

"I heard this group sing at a large gathering in downtown Los Angeles. The audience was entranced. The children have lovely voices and a rare degree of professionalism.The original songs are melodious and clever. Some incorporate the poetry of published authors. All in all, this album is a winner!"
The catchiest children's tunes I've ever heard.

"Once you hear this cd, you'll be humming the songs nonstop. It's perfect to keep the kids amused during car trips and they love hearing other kids singing the catchy songs. I've been a fan of Mrs. Music for a while, my family enjoys her first CD "It's Holiday Time" just as much as "Celebrating Children." Once your kids hear it they'll definitely be hooked."
Add this to your collection.

"I'm a new grandmother who is always looking for new and fun music to sing along with my grandson. I found this CD to be delightful and creative. It would make a wonderful addition to any child's music library."
This is a great CD! I love to listen to it, so do my kids!

"I am a pre-school teacher and a musician. I have to listen to a lot of "kids" music and so much of it is worthless. These songs are fun, meaningful, and inspirational. I thoroughly enjoy it and so does my class."
I love how Mrs. Music and her singers make music of poetry!

"When Mrs. Music asked me if she could set my poem "Good Luck Gold" to music, I wondered if some of the meaning of the poem would be lost. When I heard the results, I was pleased by how she transformed my poem, deleting some lines but still preserving the essence of it. The best poems are like music, I think--and now my poem is even MORE musical!"
