Music

Music is central to children’s experience of the world. It is a core way to connect learning with emotion. Our music’s lyric content is targeted for young EFL learners, yet it is meant to be somewhat musically challenging – children can enjoy themselves with strong rhythms and grooves, and at the same time stretch their sonic boundaries with bluesy and folksy riffs. We strive to create songs that kids and adults alike can listen to over the years and still find interesting (if you listen closely!).
