If you're looking for a musical Christmas gift for the young kids on your list, there is a new CD out that's perfect a blend of informative and fun.
Bilingual children’s musician Will Stroet, a two-time Western Canadian Music Award nominee from Vancouver, B.C., is back with his fifth release (and his most rockin’), 'Walk ‘n’ Roll'.
As a former music teacher in Vancouver, Will easily connects with kids through high-energy, interactive and educational music in English and French. “Walk ‘n’ Roll,” includes 12 action-packed songs in English about reading, walking safety, sports, vegetables, animals and personal hygiene.
“Most kids today have a more sophisticated taste in music than they are given credit for. So, I use interesting rhythms, rhymes and wordplay in my songwriting to connect with kids and their parents. I try to write unique songs that deliver an educational message in a fun way,” says Will.
Will was inspired by some of the great legends of blues, rock ‘n’ roll and folk music, including Stevie Ray Vaughan, Chuck Berry, Elvis and Bob Dylan, while writing this album.
The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia commissioned Will to write the title track and “Boost Me Up” to educate kids about walking and booster seat safety. These two rock ‘n’ roll - based songs, along with his previous hit, “Bike Safety Boogie,” are on the Walk'n Ride Rhymes CD, which is part of ICBC’s road safety curriculum available to B.C. teachers.
Here is Will's latest video 'I'm Gonna Walk':
Will Stroet's CD is available at local retailers in British Columbia and iTunes.
