The Center for Music and Young Children (CMYC) has developed
nine song collections containing fun, simple, musically interesting songs,
both traditional and original, that will appeal to the whole family. The
music is pitched in just the right range for children's voices and includes
songs, (with and without words), rhythmic chants,
patterns for tonal and rhythm development, and instrumental "play-alongs,"
all in a rich variety of scales and rhythms.

Hello Song
Join us for music, dancing and fun!
Outstanding musicians play classical, jazz, and folk instruments on our CDs,
including guitar, clarinet, violin, flute, keyboards and world percussion. Each semester, your family gets a different songbook with two copies of the matching CD for use at home, in the car, or anywhere! Each collection provides multi-level accessibility and challenges, so that children of different
ages can enjoy the same music together.
Our song collections are research-based, artistically conceived
and produced, and are classroom- and family-tested. The feedback of hundreds of teachers and thousands of families
over more than ten years has been incorporated in these constantly evolving
materials. They work!
