Cooking Up A Song Album
Project 2015-02-19 18:02:50 +1300
I'm Anna van Riel a singer/songwriter from Lake Hawea, New Zealand and I'm creating a 12 track children's album full of fun and interactive songs for babies up to the age of seven.
The first seven years are of vital importance to a child. In this phase, and at a very rapid pace, children master the skills of movement, speech, gesture, verbal and non-verbal communication, uprightness and many others. Most of this is learnt through imitation — the young child mimics everything from physical movements through to attitudes & values.
TAKE A LISTEN TO THE ALBUM BY CLICKING THE PHOTO!
The album will be a collection of my own original songs that have been extremely popular amongst my young audiences over the past 15 years of performing for children.
As you can see I'm aiming for a rather large sum of money - $10,000 to be exact. This will cover the cost of studio time, engineering, mixing & mastering, photography, graphic design, manufacturing, rewards and promotion of the album once it's complete. PledgeMe is an all or nothing site so if I don't get the the full amount I'll receive nothing. So the goal is to share this campaign with as many people as possible to ensure we reach the target!

As in independent artist this is a project I am excited to undertake, but also as a mother of two and chairman of our playgroup in Hawea the need for children’s music has become more apparent to me.
Many of the songs have actions so I will also create a songbook that will include the lyrics, actions and ways for parents to interact with their children, including tiny babies.
WAYS OF HELPING
Whether you are in a position to offer a financial contribution to this project or not I would like you to know that your support and energy are so welcome and incredibly valuable to me and to the success of this album!
If you want to help in ways other than financial support here are some things that would be of great help:
-
Tell a friend about this project
-
Post it on your facebook/twitter
-
Call your local newspaper and see if they'd like to write a story about it
-
Send it to friends with children
-
Ask your friends to share it on
Thanks so much for taking the time to read - would love for you to be a part of this!
