Sesame Street knew from the beginning, that music would play a very important role in teaching all it’s goals.
I chose these 12 songs not only for your children, but for you parents,  our “Sesame Seeds”,  who grew up watching Sesame Street. Hopefully, you will think back to your early years and have some fun sharing those memories with your child.  When you hear these fresh, new arrangements of your old favorites in the styles of Jazz, Pop, Latin and Motown,  that will brighten up these classic melodies, perhaps they will inspire you to pick up your child, dance around the room and even join in a lullaby that says….”I love you–good night.”
