Rock Symphonies

Rock Symphonies is the newest album from best-selling classical artist David Garrett
I was previously unintiated to the work of master violinist David Garret; Rock Symphonies mixes what are apparently his two loves: classical music and the rock-and-roll songs.
Firstly, we are starting out right with an 80’s rock-and-roll album cover. Yep. I feel that.

I don’t know if I have ever gone into it on this blog, but Michael Bolton and I have a connection.
It is basically this: when I was about 12 it was during Michael Bolton’s long hair phase. I also had long poofy hair. So the mean kids at school called me Michael Bolton.
Thanks, guys. [...]

The Word of Promise Audio Bible

I love audio books. I like to read, but my reality right now is that I need to multitask.
So, listening to an audio book while I am exercising, driving, or cooking makes me feel like I am doing something for "me" while fulfilling my other duties.
I was sent a copy of The Word [...]

Party Like A Twinkle Star

Party Like a Twinkle Star is probably the cutest name I have ever heard for a children’s album.
And there is an element of genius in this album by Charity and the JAMband: it contains two CD’s; one with danceable songs for “rockin’ out” and one with chill songs for “tucking in”.
The “party” songs are energetic [...]

Want to get into a fitness routine but can’t get motivated?
We have a Sansa slotRadio player, and it completely inspired my husband to start getting up early…like 5 am (!) to go running or cycling.
We have been married for nearly 10 years and he has NEVER done anything like this before!
The Sansa slotRadio is a [...]

Since I started teaching preschool this year, I’m even more keenly aware of the importance of quality children’s music.
I use music in my classroom almost all day long. More than half of my class speak English as a second language. Through songs and rhymes, they can engage with the class and get some fantastic English [...]

I’m teaching preschool full time now, and MUSIC is a fun and exciting part of our play time.
I have two children in my class who excitedly ask me every day if we can turn on the music.
Once I oblige, they dance and scamper about with some nice flowing scarves that I added to the home [...]

Milkshake released their fourth CD, Great Day, in August.
I love the music of the 80’s, some songs on Great Day have an 80’s sound, but the lyrics are geared towards children of this generation!
Great Day has catchy, head-bobbin’ songs about friendship, tough days, family, aspirations, growing older, consumerism, and other issues that confront children ages [...]
