I just started mixing this project - hope to have it to mastering in 2-3 weeks! The website will open as soon as I finish mixing and can get to it.

We are very excited to let you know about our new Children’s CD entitled “Animals”. We have worked together for 6 years and have written over a hundred fifty songs together. Chuck by trade is an, engineer, composer and producer and Sarah is a pre-school and ballet teacher who works with children every day. In listening to the music on the market, we decided to try our hand at writing entertaining, educational music and lyrics not just for the children, but for parents and caregivers to enjoy as well. Thus our first children’s CD “Animals” was born.

Said Sarah,” We want to offer high quality, well crafted, fun as well as musical compositions. Music the whole family can enjoy.” And they have done just that. A collection of 15 animals from around the world come to life as the orchestra plays with a vast array of instruments.

Said Chuck, “In addition to the modern orchestra, we used instruments that we thought would either emulate the specific animal, or used native instruments from the geographical region the particular animal lives. For a child to hear an instrument they have never heard before and have an association with it is very exciting.”

Take for instance the song “Dancing Bear”. Authentic Russian instruments are used. There is tuba, bass, mandolin, balalaika, accordion, as well as wrist bells and various drums. The music plays in varying time signatures giving the feeling of being in the middle of a gypsy caravan.

Other animals use both orchestral and ethnic instrumentation as well: Lion, Tiger, Kangaroo, Elephant, Crocodile, Bee, Snake, and many more.

As well as the CD, we are offering a companion book, a coloring and lyric book as well as sheet music. All of the animal illustrations were drawn by renowned artist Fleetwood Covington. An animated DVD is already in production.

This is a fun, entertaining and educational coloring book that provides children the opportunity to encounter new animals, and learn each animal’s name and identifying features. We are very excited about children coloring them. On the web site are building a gallery for kids to send in their own scanned coloring sheets which will be posted on the web site.

So parents, if you are looking for a fun CD for your child please come and look at our web site, you won’t be disappointed.

The CD and Coloring book should be available at the end of September and an animated DVD as well as a song book for piano and chords for guitar are in production. You can visit our web site at www.kidstunesonline.com or visit Fleetwood Covington at www.fleetwoodcovington.com
