The Laurie Berkner Band Is Back With New Original Songs #laurieberkner






The 411:

I have an 11 and 13 year old and have been listening to Laurie for much of their childhood and now that they are grown and have their own taste I have been sharing my love of Laurie's catchy hook driven, preschool songs with my preschool class. In the morning during circle time the kids (2-3 year olds) and I sing Bumble Bee and We Are The Dinosaurs while moving our bodies, laughing, clapping and smiling along to Laurie.

Superhero contains 21 new songs plus 2 bonus songs all written for ages 1-7. I cannot wait to bring it into work.  Written by Laurie and containing songs about bicycles, tea parties and fireworks this CD will get the kids moving and grooving. Superhero contains many music styles like 60's pop, lullabies, reggae, Latin and even a duet with Ziggy Marley.

I think my class will love the title song Superhero where we can pretend to be Superheros during our morning stretch as well as This Is How I Do It which has Laurie singing about jumping, spinning and flying like a butterfly. Perfect for kids to move to. I am already thinking about ways to incorporate this into our daily circle time. Umbrella, Elephant In There, The Music In Me, In and Out Take A Trip,  will be great too!
Over the past week I have been singing Bubbles which reminds me of the Go Go's in the car while driving the kids to school and I was thrilled to hear she included a dance remix of We Are The Dinosaurs! It is an absolute favorite but I think my preschoolers will love the original better. 

If you have little ones check out Laurie. Her music is so much fun, she has a great voice and the songs really do get kids moving which is so much more important these days with so many kids addicted to their screen time.
