Reddit mentions: The best children educational music

I would get some good music for him to listen to. Exposing him to classical music now can have a huge positive effect on him if he takes lessons later. My father-in-law started playing classical music to my husband when he was a baby. I have studied piano in college, and have taught piano for 12 years, and my husband still has a better ear for music then I do.

I also think the idea of a music class for toddlers like kindermusik might be a good idea.

These CDs called "Beethoven's Wig" are a great way to introduce classical music to children. It play famous pieces with silly words, then includes the original version. http://www.amazon.com/Beethovens-Wig-Sing-Along-Symphonies/dp/B000060OLA

This is excellent advice. Custodianship of memories is as important as custodianship of the eyes, if not moreso. You must replace the sinful memories and experiences with the sacred and bury the sinful past as much as possible. Buy a couple CD's of Gregorian Chant:

Listen to it whenever you would listen to other things. Watch movies like The Passion of the Christ, Ben Hur, etc.

Read the classics, ideally stuff before the 1960's, if not before the 20th century. Especially this: https://books.google.com/books?id=3PkYNcU0k94C&pg=PA3


Confession, early and often. Weekly or bi-weekly until you can break it. Mass as often as you can. Ideally, daily Mass but that might not be practical. If you can do that for a month, you should break the hold.

Obviously pray. You are not strong enough alone. I certainly wasn't. You can and should be begging the intercession of Our Blessed Mother. Pray the Rosary daily. Get formally invested in the brown scapular and wear it to remind you to pray your daily Rosary.

Pray before bed and when you wake up. An examination of conscience followed by a Confiteor and at least a decade of the Rosary. If you make it a habit, you will replace your lustful habits...

Something like this would be good. "Sing-Along" songs and the like. Things like "The Wheels on the Bus" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider." Because of your disability, though, maybe you could start her with a "children's sing-along song" DVD, that shows the subtitles across the bottom. That way you could sing along with her. I'm not very educated on deafness and how you could interact with her in that way, I'm sorry. Maybe there are "sing along" DVD's in which they show the verbal words spoken as subtitles along with how to sign the songs...? I wish I could be of more help.

The Beethovens Wig collection is AWESOME, my charges love them. There are 4 of them and they are so much fun:

Warning though, it will ruin classical music for you forever! All I hear now when listening to the 5th symphony is "Beethoven's wig...it's really biiiiig.." But they can be educational too, they will throw in the name of the composer and other stuff into the song.

EDIT to add: They Might Be Giants has a ton of cute (and educational) kid songs as well. We took my son to see the kids show live. When the kids were really little they loved The Wiggles (are they still around? lol). I also second Raffi, which someone mentioned.

This is my absolute favorite CD in our class! 4 Hugs a Day and I am a Pizza are my favorite but they're all good.

Thats confusing! lol, but if I dont want the banana at all, I'm just wasting money, right? I normally buy books or cds, so I check the price with super savings and the price without when I buy more than one item, and its usually cheaper without... Any tips for this? For example, I wanted to buy several of these cds (dont laugh!), all cedermont kids, different songs on the cds for my gramma but it seemed cheaper to buy the ones without 'free' shipping. I ended up just downloading them and burning them though and saved on all the shipping! Whaat would you have suggested?

Yep. While we are on the topic of ancient nostalgia. They also turned the one gag about Larry being a super hero into two animated spin offs. One with the regular models, and the other in 2d. The 3d one was better IMO, but at that age with conservative parents, you took what you could get entertainment wise.

I feel like I am forgetting one other thing they did beyond veggietales and what has been mentioned.

Oh yeah they also had several metal bands cover the silly songs. Holy shit how did I forget that?

Edit: for those that may have doubted. Veggie Rocks is real.. I guess technically it was rock instead of metal, but it gets surprisingly heavy. Skillet went full scream for Stand. They rehashed In The Belly of the whale for the movie (maybe the other way around). I'm drawn between finding it on YouTube and nostalgaing myself or keeping the rose tinted goggles.

Edit 2: Wikipedia has no evidence that there was anything other than 321, Veggietales, and the larryboy animated spin off. I'm going to chalk that up to the pirates movie I guess. Could have sworn... I'm not even sure. It feels like there is a hole in my memory.

I used to sing a lot of Barenaked Ladies' Snacktime songs, especially Polywog In A Bog, mostly due to the giggles I'd get.

She also likes almost anything CCR, so I've gotten to sing lots of their stuff, as well as Bob Marley.

Not nursery rhymes by any stretch, but the kiddo really seems to like full on songs for the most part.

Tom Chapin is great. (His brother was Harry Chapin).

We liked the rock lullabies for when my son was a baby, and now for my new daughter. Kind of like kids music, but a little more palatable to adults.

• Kiss
  
• Barenaked Ladies
  
• Eagles
  
• Aerosmith
  
• AC/DC
  
• Black Sabbath
  
• Bob Marley
  
• Bon Jovi
  
• Led Zeppelin
  
• Tons of others
  
  Hell, there are some lullaby versions of these songs that are better than the originals.

First CD I remember asking my parents to buy me was Garfield Am I Cool or What?. But the first CD I bought with my own money was STP's Core album.

based on a post here (https://forums.atozteacherstuff.com/index.php?threads/movement-ideas.25223/) i believe the version you heard was from a music cd produced as part of a PE curriculum called "SPARK K-2". i've found the CD for sale on amazon and other sites but without a track list (https://www.amazon.com/SPARK-Physical-Education-K-2-Music/dp/B0044S97VC). some of the tracks are on youtube, but not the one you want unfortunately (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbdMGsxUU4w4Z4jj8DU2i9xv6pxEmxeKi). i found it for sale officially here (https://sparkpe.org/curriculum/k-2) but even there doesn't have a track list.

there seems to be a lyric site with your exact lyrics on it, but when i go to it (even google's cached version), it spams pop ups and such with no actual lyric site :(

edit: this pdf (https://achieve.lausd.net/cms/lib08/CA01000043/Centricity/Domain/245/Nike_Let%20Me%20Play%20Playbook%20K-5.pdf) has the lyrics you described on page 107 (ctrl-f "and you freeze") with a workout routine included for children, as well. this PDF mentions the SPARK program i talked about above, but i'm not sure if this is just like a free/leaked version of it or what. in either case, it doesn't seem that it was specifically made for your school

It's a three disc set, sold together.

Check out the album Snack Time by Barenaked Ladies. All kids songs.

My go-tos are The Monks of Norcia and the FSSP.
