A few months ago my toddler was in a "must have music" phase, and when we got tired of switching records or listening to the same local radio ads over and over, we turned to Spotify. The kids' music playlist we stumbled on had one album with bizarre choices of tempo, instrumentation, and effects. It kind of grew on me after a while.
I wanted to learn more about the artist but when I tried searching (it was a super generic name like "Music for Kids") they only seemed to exist on Spotify. I'm disappointed but I can't say I'm surprised.
- ZoomZoomZoom 4y agoThere was a nice video where a bunch of YT musical blogging celebs made some "Advanced" music for kids. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC8KT07m5aY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC8KT07m5aY https://tupletsfortoddlers.bandcamp.com/album/tuplets-for-toddlers https://tupletsfortoddlers.bandcamp.com/album/tuplets-for-to... Personally, I don't think children need their own special music most of the time, unless it has cool stories and interesting colourful lyrics. Otherwise, there's a bunch of Classical, Jazz, New Age and some Rock music which work great for kids.
- drewzero1 4y agoThanks for the links! I'll have to check those out when I get a chance. We found that Boots Randolph is great for spirited toddler dancing, as well as any 6/8 Sousa march. A lot of the time we just listen to what I would normally listen to. We had a lot of fun with Bach and Wagner when he was a baby, but now that he can move around he wants something he can dance to.
