Give your child an unforgettable experience that will inspire a lifelong love of music and create lasting memories with the whole F-A-M-I-L-Y!
\n\nLaurie Berkner has been a professional musician since 1992\, but her success as a children&rsquo\;s recording artist was a surprise to her. &ldquo\;It was so unexpected\,&rdquo\; says Laurie. &ldquo\;I&rsquo\;d been performing in rock bands and struggling to write original music. Writing music for kids has not been a struggle at all. The more I started working on material for children\, the more I realized that it opened up creativity in me that I never knew I had.&rdquo\;
\n\nThese days critics widely acknowledge Laurie&rsquo\;s major contribution toward launching what is now dubbed the progressive &ldquo\;kindie rock&rdquo\; movement &ndash\; i.e. less saccharine\, more rocking music that is not dumbed down for children. But it wasn&rsquo\;t simply an enormous amount of talent that helped create an entire genre and skyrocketed Laurie to her current position as &ldquo\;the queen of kids&rsquo\; music&rdquo\; (People magazine).
\n\nIt was an ability to gain parents&rsquo\; enthusiasm for the songs as well. According to Laurie\, &ldquo\;When I&rsquo\;m writing a song\, I&rsquo\;m thinking about whether the kids will like it and whether I&rsquo\;m going to connect to them through it. I&rsquo\;m also thinking about whether I want to sing it over and over again\, so I guess that&rsquo\;s the part that connects with adults. &lsquo\;Old MacDonald Had a Farm&rsquo\; is a great song for kids\, but I couldn&rsquo\;t sing it 100 times!&rdquo\;
