One of my very favorite videos to watch at this time of year is “Scrooge,” the musical version of “A Christmas Carol,” which starred Albert Finney. It’s hard to say which scene is the best, but I’ve always especially enjoyed this one – “Christmas is for children young and old.” Enjoy!

Shared on our Kindermusik educators’ forum:
Today in Imagine That, we were doing a bell play-along with three bell jingles to Jingle Bells. Sarah, age 4, sitting next to me, was looking positively blissful, and I thought she was just enjoying the song like everyone else.
She turns to me with the biggest smile and says [...]

Usually, when I hear an musical artist in concert, I will say afterwards that I enjoyed listening to them play. Once in a while, I run across someone that I not only enjoy listening to them perform, but I also enjoy watching them create musical magic. This is one of those rare times. For your listening and viewing pleasure [...]
