A big thank you to everyone who came out to our first KEEP workshop.  We had a great time and we hope you did too!

You can find some photos and a summary of everything covered in the workshop here.
Some space is still available for the next workshop on June 19th.  It’s almost full so register soon!

Our first KEEP workshop at Anaheim University is full.  Thanks to all who registered. We’re really looking forward to seeing everyone.

Some space may become available, so please feel free to register and we’ll put you on the waiting list.  You can also subscribe to the KEEP newsletter.  Then, you’ll be the first to know about upcoming workshops and hopefully won’t miss out on the next one!

The new school year has started in Japan and we’ve had some requests for a downloadable Japanese brochure/order form that schools can use to order.

So, here they are.  If you’ve been looking for some new music for your classes, give these to your school and hopefully you’ll have some just in time the new school year! Click to download and print.

We’ve been hard at work for the past few weeks getting ready for a new project called KEEP.

KEEP is a collaboration between Super Simple Learning and Yuco Kikuchi created to help teachers and parents increase their competence and confidence in teaching English to young learners. In KEEP workshops, we share ideas for using songs, games, picture books, and other activities to make learning English engaging and confidence-boosting.

Our first series of workshops will be presented in Tokyo at Anaheim University’s Omotesando campus.  The workshops are free but space is limited so sign up early!  You can learn more about KEEP and register online at our new website.

Attendees should be prepared to learn a lot and participate!!!!

If you enjoyed using Knock Knock Trick or Treat in your classrooms, be sure to try “What Do You Want for Christmas?” from Super Simple Songs One.

It’s very similar in that it has some space and music to act out the toy vocabulary–robot, rocket, teddy bear, and train–between verses.  The kids have a blast with the song every year at our school and judging by the feedback we’re getting, kids everywhere are enjoying this song.  

Speaking of  Knock Knock Trick or Treat, (In case you missed it, it was a free Halloween song download) there were just over 30,000 downloads of the song this year.  Thank you!  That means that millions of children all over the world are now singing with Super Simple Songs, and music is finding its way into classrooms where there was no music before.  Knowing this makes us very, very happy!

So thank you to everyone for spreading the word!  If you check back again on Friday, there might just be a Christmas present or two to be found on SuperSimpleSongs.com.  

See you then!

The Children’s Music Web Award Winners for 2008 have been finalized and we’re happy to announce that Super Simple Songs Three has received an award!

Here is a quote from the website that sums up we we are so proud of these awards:

Our Children’s Music Web Awards are decided in a multi-step judging process. First, family judges screen the candidates and make preliminary decisions. This year we had over 130 applications for 12 categories. In the second round, classrooms and day care centers worldwide pick their favorites.
Children’s voices predominate every step of the way.
Thus,it can truly be said that these are the

KIDS’ FAVORITES!

A big thank you to the teachers and students who judged our songs!

Super Simple Songs Three has been chosen as a finalist in the Children’s Music Web Awards!

SSS 2 received the award two years ago and now our fingers are crossed for Super Simple Songs Three.

The Children’s Music Web Award is our favorite music resource because it’s the only one that gives awards based on what KIDS think!

The CDs are now off to final judging schools.  May the best CD win!
