BUCKET OF WOW!
“BUCKET Of Wow! the third solo album by Stephen Michael Schwartz, proves once and again why he is considered by parents, pre-schoolers and peers, to be among the elite singer/ songwriters in the specialized genre of, “children’s music”.
BUCKET OF WOW! features Stephen’s exceptional ability to capture in a song, the joys of life, the gratitude of living and a sincere understanding of a child’s perspective on the world around them.
These beautifully crafted compositions will elevate kids to great heights…but not too high that a child can’t reach up and take hold of their own Bucket Of Wow!
Exploring themes important to today’s kids, Elementary School Musical is a fun and powerful combination of music, messages and performance all rolled into one.
In the opening scene, a scruffy old dog stumbles onto the school playground. Fido’s family can’t afford a vet, so a group of six kids set off on a wild adventure to offer help. Can the kids learn enough about getting along, positive thinking, bullying, and conquering fears to succeed? Can they rise above adversity, crack the code of the treasure hunt and pull off the miracle of saving their furry friend?
The eight award-winning songs provide a template of mixing options for theater groups, schools and classrooms everywhere. Packed with songs, humor, dancing, mystery and surprise, the combined elements of a quiz show, audience participation and surprise appearances from dads are sure to feed the hearts and souls of kids of all ages.
Just Be You! Children’s Music Album – Just Be You! Is a new Children’s Music Album featuring the lovable Nirks puppet characters. The album is filled with fun, educational and entertaining songs that families will love! Each song has a sing-along version too! Their featured Single, “I’m Me,” is for anyone who ever feels like it’s tough to just be yourself, especially when other people don’t understand, are mean to you, or even think you’re just plain weird! All of the Nirks are unique and quirky (like all of us) and celebrate being different, special and (especially!) weird.
The Little Rockers Band, “Who Needs Rhythm” Album
Inspired by a child’s life experiences, these Teaching Artists pick special moments from the children they interact with daily at their music classes and concerts to create songs tailored just for them. For this collection the band wanted to introduce kids to different rhythmic styles found in a variety of genres besides the Rock & Roll they usually gravitate towards. Like the different personalities in the band, each of the songs on WHO NEEDS RHYTHM? has a unique and fun musical perspective that will capture the imagination of any music lover big or small.
