"Fun songs that were musically appropriate for pre-kindergarten to second grade, well as great science and social studies connections."
Jessica, Music Teacher, Oakdale Elementary
"My class has been so obsessed with writing math raps, songs, and parodies that we now have a scheduled day of the week as performance day. The kids called it Portable Idol or Kids Factor and they have a rubric for me to use to judge them. Thanks for awakening their musical creative side."
