Music Web Site Counteracts Negatives of "No Child Left Behind"
(PRWEB) November 13, 2007 -- Bill Shontz, King of the Teddy Bear's Picnic and one half of the internationally acclaimed RosenShontz, is an innovator in the children's music world. His newest creation is a web site, the "Children's Music Hall of Fame". Its mission? To connect educators children, and families with music recordings from around the world. It combines technology with a wonderful body of material, mainly from independent artists, dedicated to writing, performing and recording music for children and families. The goal? To help lessen the negative effects the "No Child Left Behind" program has on music and arts programs (and the test scores it attempts to improve). Numerous studies verify that quality music actually assists children with cognitive development and learning. Despite this evidence, schools are cutting funding for the arts.
However, educators can still bring music into the classroom in a way never before possible. The site is child-safe and educator and parent friendly. Music, stories and educational computer games, are checked for content, production and musicality. There are thousands of age appropriate recordings for kids from pre-birth to a hundred and two in most genres.
Sure, www.Childrensmusichalloffame.com has downloads, but it also has unique features. "Custom Designed CDs" for example. Say Grandma wants to create a birthday present for Johnny. She searches, listens to, and selects songs Johnny would like or has placed on his "wish list". She puts them in her shopping cart, writes, "To Johnny on your 5th birthday, love, Grandma", places her order and shortly, Johnny receives his custom designed CD in the mail complete with Grandma's wish.
Another unique feature is the "Limited Edition CD" fundraiser, for schools and businesses. Schools are always looking for new ways of raising money. Now they can order a "Limited Edition CD" and select songs that enhance their theme for the year. They submit artwork, wording and pictures and "Children's Music Hall of Fame" creates the "one of a kind" CD in any quantity. Given to each teacher for thematic music in the classroom, it enhances learning, is a great fundraiser, promotion, or a gift for a job well done. Everyone will remember what they learned in school this year, for many years to come. Also, while you are there, check out the Teachers budget accounts and children' allowance accounts.
The "Children's Music Education Newsletter" " CHIME NEWS.com ", a sister site, has articles, suggestions, links, reviews, games, puzzles and more, to help make classrooms and homes happier and healthier. For documentation on studies referred to, go to www.chimenews.com.
Bill Shontz, musician, entrepreneur and CEO, has performed at the White House, Fenway Park for the Boston Red Sox, Kennedy Center, appeared on "Live with Regis and Kathy Lee", "The Today Show" and much more.

Changing The Way We Listen To Music With The MP3 Music Player
Not so very long ago most of us who are old enough to remember probably had a collection of vinyl albums that reflected our wide taste in music. Such technology was all we knew and, with the help of a record player, we could enjoy our songs without having to wait for them to come on the radio. Today, technology is so different that it barely resembles its former self. Music lovers of today carry around portable devices that store all of their favorite songs in a piece of equipment that is barely larger than our thumbs. The MP3 music player technology initially appeared in the mid-1980s but we would not see the player in its present state until the late 1990s ? 1999 to be exact. But when it made its appearance it would change the world of mu...
