My husband always says that our girls have my style of dancing…which is well, pretty funny looking! And although he may be right, I absolutely love to get up and dance with my children! So, when we got Groove Kid Nation’s new CD “Music in Motion” we immediately started to listen, dance and groove!

About Groove Kid Nation
Groove Kid Nation is an educational children’s music label whose goal is to introduce toddlers to the sound of real musical instruments. Created by Rodney Lee, a veteran record producer and keyboardist who has over 20 years of experience in the music business as a touring sideman, record producer, and recording artist – Rodney is applying his talents to the realm of children’s music.

Groove Kid Nation is a focused way to bring the concert experience home, and it was designed so that even parents with no musical ability can easily present the material to their children. It’s as easy as playing the CD for your kids while driving around town or dancing at home! Each CD challenges and expands a kid’s musical journey with fresh age-appropriate concepts.

Characters from Popular Kids Songs and Children’s Music Take the Stage as Musicians! Some examples include: the 4 Little Kittens, Humpty Dumpty, and more!

The Product
Kool Katz: Music in Motion continues off of the success of the critically acclaimed first release, The Wheels on the Bus. This time around, Lee and his team of top L.A. musicians recorded an album designed to get children moving to the beat while simultaneously learning about musical concepts and instruments.

Through groovy soul tracks, this mostly original set draws kids into the action with specific instructions on what to do from funny dances, to playing air guitar, to responding to musical cues, to simply nodding their heads to the beat.

An entirely new band of feline characters known as the “Kool Katz” guide the fun, and the enclosed 10-page booklet features colorful illustrations of each Kool Kat playing their own instrument.

What really makes Groove Kid Nation stand out?

Having a child makes you feel a deeper connection to children everywhere, and that is why Groove Kid Nation will be donating 10% of the wholesale price of this CD to CARE.org. CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting poverty. A little bit goes a long way in improving the life of a child born into circumstances far less fortunate than our own.

My Thoughts
My daughters and I absolutely love listening to the Kool Katz! They are so much fun, and you can’t help but get up and dance along 😀 Our favorite song was “Fast and Slow” and “Funky Chicken” which really challenges your children to listen, move and have fun!

I could definitely see families all over the world listening to these creative kids songs, and find a true appreciation for instrumental music. It was like listening to jazz/funky music with a focus on your children learning.

This would also be perfect for music teachers at the elementary/middle school levels. I would highly recommend purchasing this CD for your children ages birth and up. Get up, get moving and get your groove on!
