Music reviews of Singable Songs For The Very Young: Great With A Peanut-Butter Sandwich

Music Review: Positive Experience in my Life
Rating: 5 Stars

The notes from the original 1976 album are insightful:

"SINGABLE SONGS FOR THE VERY YOUNG was made possible with the indispensable help and guidance of an advisory group consisting of Daphne Pike, Director of St. Phillips Nursery School in Toronto; Debi Pike and Bonnie Simpson, kindergarten teachers at Shoreham Drive Public School in North York; and Bert Simpson, a primary teacher at Driftwood Public School in North York. Their care and dedication made a great contribution to this record for which I am deeply grateful.

"It was Daphne Pike who first suggested that I make this album. She feels there's a great need for good recorded music for young children and I think she is right. Music for adults is continually changing and progressing and we have a multitude of recorded works to choose from. However there are very few good children's records.

"But children deserve good music too! And that's the very idea behind this album. It contains a great variety of easily singable songs: some counting, some rhyming, some kinda funny, and some almost pensive; some songs feature the voice and some highlight the instruments; some old classics, and some brand new songs to learn; some old songs made fresh, and even some instrumental solos (junior jazz!) And whenever Ken Whitely is involved you can bet the music will be lively; his imaginative approach to songs resulted in some memorable arrangement; and the educational concepts were always dressed in entertaining clothes.

"When I was a kid, I always liked it when learning was fun. I hope you enjoy listening to this album as much as I enjoyed recording it. I look forward to the next one.

"Raffi, 1976."
