Seattle Historical Arts for Kids

"An immediately infectious sense of pure fun....

The children sing with equal confidence in Spanish, Latin, and early English…. The instrumentalists are impeccably musical.... The result is a wonderfully varied introduction to early music.... This isn't just a pedagogical tool, though it's an excellent one; it's also a pleasure to listen to." Karen Cook, Duke University

 

 

 
"I am so charmed 
I can hardly speak.... 

[This music]
was made for these kids to sing."

Susan Hellauer, Anonymous 4

Merry It Is!... the album

Recorded with elementary school students in mind and with the help of real-live singing kids aged 8-12. The album is also fascinating for preschoolers and totally charming for adults, whether new to early music or longtime devotees.
