Description

Hello, everybody! I'm Kenny Powell, and I'm a pre-Kindergarten teacher from Sacramento, California. I also happen to be a singer/songwriter/producer. I decided to combine the two things I love most and do best, and the result is my debut CD, "Preschool Jam!" This CD is a collection of original, traditional, movement, learning, sing-a-long, resting, and just plain fun songs for kids, parents, teachers, and anyone who loves to groove! "Preschool Jam!" is designed to encourage and stimulate young minds to learn and grow, and to enhance and reinforce the positive lessons that children learn at home, at school, and anywhere else.

"Preschool Jam!" is a 2006 Children's Music Web Awards winner in the "Best Recording for Preschoolers ages 3 to 5" category. The CMW Awards are the only ones guided by adults, but actually judged by kids, so a CMW Award winner can truly be called a children's favorite!

I have over 20 years of preschool-daycare experience, and I earned a Child Development Teacher Permit issued by the State of California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. "Preschool Jam!" has been field-tested at various child care centers, and the response has been so tremendously positive that I just had to make the CD available to everyone! Two of the recurring themes of this wonderful feedback are "We've played the CD so much, we've almost worn it out!" and "You've got to sell this CD!" Older kids and adults seem to enjoy "Preschool Jam!" as much as preschoolers do.

My biggest musical influences are Stevie Wonder, James Brown, George Clinton, and Earth, Wind & Fire. However, I love a wide variety of music, and I try to bring that variety to my own music. I believe that children deserve more choices, as long as the choices are positive and appropriate. On a personal note, when I'm not teaching or making music, my interests and activities include weight training, swimming, sports, music, and reading the newspaper.

Please take the time to listen to all of the clips from "Preschool Jam!" You'll discover that it's a different kind of children's music CD from a different kind of children's music artist. And don't forget to check out my website by clicking on the link provided. ENJOY!!!


"Preschool Jam!" can be downloaded at Apple iTunes! Just click on the "Preschool Jam!" link on the left side of this page, click on the "BUY!" page at my website, and click on the iTunes link! You can purchase the entire album, or just download the singles you want. It's easy!

I'm going to have to play this one for the boss!!!!

Really, your music has been just great, from the music, to the production, to the messages that you send out to the kids, and you can really sing.

Thanks for sharing and for your message for the next generation!!!

Another of your great children's (of all ages) song!!!!! I enjoyed the music and the singing and for the group you are singing for, the lyrics are great. It is really encouraging for the kids to learn to not worry about dancing "correctly". I wish I would have learned it. Wait, it's not too late.

Okay, I'm jammin'

Anyway, thanks

I feel Kenny Powell's "Preschool Jam!" is an exciting children's CD. The kids here love it; the "DINOSAURS!" and "Quiet Time" songs are their favorites. I recommend this CD to anyone with young children.

Kenny has unbelievable energy, the kind of energy parents wish they could
summon sometimes when their little bundles of joy start getting the best of
them. Well, now they can: just pop PreSchool Jam into the CD player. You'll be
amazed watching your kids burning off all that excess pizazz all the while
learning a thing or two (Shhh! Don't tell them!).

Keep your distance however, or you'll get caught up in the groove also!

Kenny is a former teacher here at the Poppy Patch Child Care Center. He recently brought us a copy of his "Preschool Jam!" CD. The children really enjoy listening to "Preschool Jam!" We play the CD so often, we've almost worn it out! All the children have their favorite songs. Kenny brought the light and enjoyment of music to our school. All in all, Kenny is great when it comes to music and children! The children here at the Poppy Patch love him very much.

Just a few of the many positive and encouraging comments I've received from parents and teachers about "Preschool Jam!"...

"We were bopping to 'DINOSAURS!' in the car. My daughter (age 4) loves the part where they yell, 'T-REX!' "

"We love the CD! We have to get you on the Disney Channel!"

"We listen to the CD over and over again on long trips."

"I can't get the song "Preschool Jam!" out of my head!"

"We really like "Everybody" and "Quiet Time."

"Our favorite is "We Know Our ABCs."

Nice update on the old ABC song. Like the funky beat and a great bass line to get the kid's wiggling along. Great stuff.

As the mod of the Children's Genre Spotlight here at mixpo I've been a bit slack of late, largely because there are very few posts in the genre.

This is a great song for kids. Dinosaurs were something that intrigued me as a kid and I'm sure still fascinate kids today.

Excellent lyrics which would keep kids interested. Love the chorus. It's got a real hook to it that kids and adults can sing and dance to. Like the way that you haven't tried to "dumb" the music down.

Thanks for sharing and for reminding me I need to do some work on the Spotlight.

Cheers

I'm sure glad there are people like you making music for children. I listened to Dinosaurs, and had to listen to this one. Again, fantastic song for kids to listen to. I'll have to get my nephew and nieces to listen to your music.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow I am very impressed. Sounds almost like it is coming right off a childrens TV show. And if that is you singing - your voice is perfect. In fact when I listened to Dinosaurs I was thinking this music is not only children's music but that piece sounds like it would fit in a broadway show with YOU SINGING IT! -- no kidding I am serious.
