The CD, We All Laugh In The Same Language, is the debut from Marla Lewis. Lewis has been teaching music and English as well as performing for children for more than 15 years. This 12-song album reflects the experiences and questions she has had as a teacher.
What's the message?Most of the songs are designed to teach children about friendship, the importance of learning, caring for people, understanding why we have rules and being respectful of diversity.
Songs like We All Laugh In The Same Language have lyrics that are fun and teach kids a lesson without being too over the top. The song Wondering Why is for parents and teachers to open a dialog about serious issues such as why kids bully other kids.
This is a fun and funny CD that contains various styles of music from Pop to Dixieland and everything in between.
