Best-selling children’s recording artist and preschool television favorite Laurie Berkner will release a two-disc album, Laurie Berkner’s Favorite Classic Kids’ Songs, on October 23rd. The album includes 51 well-loved, traditional children’s songs, plus six “bonus” tracks of favorite Laurie Berkner originals.
About Laurie
A former preschool teacher by day and indie rocker by night, Laurie Berkner started marketing her music more than fifteen years ago from her living room on her own label, Two Tomatoes Records. She is now widely recognized as a pioneer in the “kindie” music genre and was crowned “the undisputed queen of kindie rock” by USA Today. The Wall Street Journal noted, “Her music is distinctive because it speaks to kids without talking down to them, charming youngsters without boring grown-ups.”
Laurie was the first artist to ever appear in music videos on Nick Jr. and was featured in nearly all the episodes of the channel’s Jack’s Big Music Show (now available on the NOGGIN video subscription app). She currently stars in the animated musical short-form series Sing it, Laurie! on the Sprout preschool channel, makes regular appearances on Sprout’s Sunny Side Up Show, and is a frequent presence on SiriusXM’s Kids Place Live channel.
My Thoughts
This amazing album is awesome. It’s made up off all the classic kids songs we all know and love but with a Laurie Berkner twist. The kids loved the songs and they are easy for them to remember and sign themselves. I love “When the Saints Go Marching In”. It brings back memories of my grandparents and summers spent at their house. It was one of the first songs my grandmother taught me to play on the piano and I think of her every time I here it. I love hearing my kids singing it.
Laurie Berkner is a huge name in children’s entertainment and I’m glad that she is still making amazing music that kids love. She’s paved the way for children’s artists and has been one of my favorites for most of my early education career (that’s over fifteen years of Laurie Berkner Love!). I’m so glad I’ve been able to share my love of Laurie Berkner with the kids I’ve taught over the years.
