The New School Supply: Rock Music

Educational Music Helps Kids Remember School Lessons

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- AMERICA is the latest CD release from Teacher and the Rockbots, and it's a great way for kids to get familiar with many of the significant events, cultural traditions and institutions that have shaped our country.

This 13-song CD reinforces American history and government lessons in a kid-friendly way with humor, modern rock music and commentary from a robot ... think 21st century "Schoolhouse Rock." And to make the songs like a game, clues are given in the verses so that listeners can try to guess the answers before they are revealed. It is like a musical version of "I Spy" or "Jeopardy."

"I really love how your songs are so educational, while being so much fun! You guys really are on to something." - Ruth, Songs for Teaching

"I think the game aspect of your songs is a terrific idea. Singing and giving the kids time to fill in the answers." - Lynda, Science Songwriters Association

Here's a brief description of some of the songs:

"Revolution, Revolution" is an account of five key events that led to the Revolutionary War. It's an entertaining yet accurate way to learn about the fairly complicated circumstances that led to such a bold move.

"What Does the Pledge Mean?" slows down to take a thoughtful look at the meaning of the key words to the Pledge of Allegiance.

"Symbols of America" and "Holidays" are good-spirited explanations of some of the cultural traditions that we hold dear and are delivered with the kind of energy that holds the attention of young learners.

Other topics include The National Anthem, branches of government, westward expansion, Civil War, 50 states, natural wonders, Washington, DC and the Bill of Rights. It's a complete package.

And there's more. Teacher and the Rockbots' previous release, MULTIPLICATION, is an excellent choice to reinforce math skills. It is a 2005 Parents' Choice Recommended Award Winner and was named "Editor's Pick" on CD Baby, the largest independent recording distributor in the US. SCIENCE rounds out the collection and it, too, is an "Editor's Pick."
