Music Library Finds: Cool Cuts For Kids
Saturday, July 17th, 2010“We’re Going To Be Friends” by the White Stripes is as good as it gets: simple, sweet, an ode to friendship with lyrics that could have been written by a six-year-old poet.
“Heavenly” by Harry Connick, Jr. is a swinging lullaby, performed with great retro style. It’s a love song about the man in the moon (who’s in love with the girl in the world) and it’s gorgeous. For other old-fashioned sounds check out The Puppini Sisters, who brind their inimitable charm to a new version of “Jeepers Creepers,” and to a cover of “Sisters” that’s a must for multiple-girl families.
If you are looking for some inspired goofiness, try Ben Kweller’s cover of “Lollipop,” or The Flaming Lips’ “If I Only Had A Brain.” Also, “Bathtime In Clerkenwell” is a bubbly nonsense song by The Real Tuesday Weld that’s perfect for tiny tub-lovers with a sense of humor.
When Toots and the Maytals sing “Never Grow Old,” I defy you not to dance with your child. Paul McCartney’s “Dance Tonight” might also inspire you, as will one of my all-time favorites, “The Littlest Bird” by the Be Good Tanyas.
If you’re a dad with a daughter, play her Paul Simon’s declaration of love, “Father and Daughter,” and keep the Kleenex handy. Or, for those moments when you are swept away with baby adoration, choose one of the great recent love anthems: Alicia Keyes’ “No One.” If you’ve heard it too many times, try the Curtis Lynch reggae remix, which is even better than the original.
A real morning song (for those five a.m. wakeup calls) is “Sunrise” by Norah Jones. It’s hard to tell if it’s the sun or the music that gives the nursery th”at glow. Another great way to start the day is to play Louis Armstrong’s “What A Wonderful World.” My daughter’s kindergarten teacher played it every day when the kids arrived, setting a sweetly positive tone in the classroom.
On those occasions when a child needs a little encouragement after a bad day, song with a fabulous message wrapped in a stunning production is “Pick Yourself Up” as sung by Diana Krall. It’s impossible to ignore her suggestion that you “dust yourself off and start all over again.”
So, when you’re looking for music that’s both kid and adult-friendly, check out some of these tunes, and search your own music library. You will most certainly find more gems like these.

Give Your Self Confidence A Boost By Learning a Musical Instrument
Saturday, April 3rd, 2010If you have never tried to learn to play before, you may wonder what the whole point is about learning to play a musical instrument in the first place. If you aren’t totally committed you may even think it isn’t really a big deal to you. The truth of the matter is that by learning to play music you are also learning a universal form of communication that all people enjoy and understand.
If you are suffering from a lack of self esteem or need a confidence boost, learning a musical instrument can provide those things for you. It is the satisfaction in doing something well that makes us feel better about ourselves. It is one of the greatest forms of therapy.
It is important that you identify the reasons that you are learning to play music in the first place. Even though playing an instrument well allows you to express yourself through music and be heard it is important to realize that not everyone may appreciate the style of music you play or how you play it. This is why I feel it is important that you learn to play music for yourself first, if others like and appreciate it then great.
You may also be one of those who have decided to learn to play music for a living. There is good money in the music business for those who learn to play well and if you have the discipline and resolve you may be able to be a professional musician putting on your own concerts and maybe even recording your own music CD.
Even if it is on your mind to earn money from your music you will still be more successful if you truly love music and would play for free than if money is your number one goal. I think this is true for any vocation and it is obvious to all when someone really loves what they do.
If you have decided you want to learn to play an instrument you definitely should think about taking some coaching lessons in addition to playing on your own. Usually you can add one hour weekly coaching to hone the skills you are learning plus it allows for someone else to be able to help you and evaluate your progress.
Regardless of whether your ambition is to become a professional musician or just to learn to play for the pure enjoyment and self satisfaction, you will feel very good about yourself for taking the time to learn to play.
