Once Upon A Song CD

With twenty two songs, a musical story, children’s voices and lots of variation in the individual arrangements, this CD provides a fresh listening experience for both children and adults. Weaving together individual rhymes through storytelling narrative, Anna links four main themes: 'Down at the Farm', 'Let's Go on an Adventure', 'Royalty' and 'Lullabies'. Adding another layer of meaning to the rhymes, Ann has created original music which explores a diversity of musical styles from tango to jazz, Aussie country bluegrass to an off beat Tom Waites style Ogre song.

This is the kind of CD that parents won't mind listening to while kids enjoy jumping and singing along.

A uniquely Australian Product that is great value for the long and generous play list.
