“Music is Magical, Children’s Songs with Ellie” CD Review~

Ellie Hirsch, founder of Mommy Masters®, is pleased to announce that her children’s CD, “Music is Magical, Children’s Songs with Ellie,” has been approved by Parents’ Choice. Best known for the Parents’ Choice Awards® program, the Parents’ Choice Award Seals are the Foundation’s internationally recognized and respected icons of quality. “I am beyond thrilled to receive an award from The Parents’ Choice Foundation. My goal for the CD is to provide children and parents with a unique, quality and affordable product that would teach through music. To be recognized for my work is such an amazing honor and accomplishment for me,” says Hirsch. Hirsch has built relationships with parents all over the world who have expressed a need for music that is fresh and easy for their children to learn and have fun with. As a solution, she created “Music is Magical,” the 18-track CD filled with songs that are unique, catchy, entertaining and educational, helping parents and children bond while enjoying their time together. “Music is Magical” touches upon important topics that young children experience, such as potty training, the first day of school, manners, cleaning up and more. Hirsch believes it is the perfect tool for both parents and teachers who want to reach young children in a fun way. Hirsch’s inspiration for “Music is Magical” was her own children, now six, four and one. “I found that utilizing music to teach my children was extremely successful when it came to important subject matter they were experiencing in their growth process, including behavior and consequences, counting and the alphabet, as well as learning about parts of their body. I knew I had to share my creations with the world and offer parents a teaching tool that was distinctive and entertaining.” Parents all over the world are singing, dancing and learning to “Music is Magical”, which continues to receive rave reviews. “When I receive letters from parents thanking me for helping to potty train their children with my song ‘It’s Potty Time,’ it makes all the blood, sweat and tears that went into creating the CD worth it”. Hirsch wrote and performs “Music is Magical,” offering children’s music that appeals to both children and parents. From reggae, techno and rap, to country and soothing lullabies, Hirsch’s CD has a little bit of something for everyone.

The Parents’ Choice Foundation has been reviewing children’s media since 1978. Claire Green, president of Parents’ Choice Foundation and cofounder of Sandbox Summit®, looks for toys and media that will unleash children’s interests and celebrate the fun of learning. Green crafted a clear mission: to search out and recommend products that help kids grow – imaginatively, physically, morally and mentally – fairly priced products that are fun, safe and socially sound. Fewer than 20% of the products submitted to the Parents’ Choice Awards program receive any level of commendation. The Parents’ Choice Foundation’s finds “Music is Magical” to be perfect for very young children.

Ellie Hirsch has a kind, warm voice that is soothing to young ears, and the songs are easy to understand and recognize. The eighteen tracks featured on the album invite children to sing about things like magic, music, family time, potty training, and trips to the zoo. A good portion of the songs are very short, too, which is perfect for most young children,” writes Ashley Jo Farmer, part of the Parents’ Choice Foundation review team.

Music is Magical can be purchased at www.MommyMasters.com and digitally at iTunes and Amazon.com. The CD retails for $9.99.

My Review:
I really liked this CD because it made everyday activities fun. There were also songs to help with stressful situations, like potty training, storm and first day of school. There is a bath song, a cleanup song, and a lullaby. There was not a genre I would even think to add.
The songs were relaxing, and I have to admit the lullaby made me sleepy. I almost fell asleep!
I recommend this CD for all parents, even home schoolers. I am giving this cd a 5/5 and I can no wait to see if Ellie comes out with a new CD!
I also let the kiddos listen to the album, and by the second time they started to dance and sing along!
I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own!
