Time to Sing (slow tempo!)

Time to Sing is a delightful music series of popular children's songs with a slowed tempo. For young children still learning the complexities of speech and language, singing along can seem hopeless if they can't keep up. This production was initiated by parents of children with apraxia who wanted to create a CD of music with lyrics at a slower pace, while maintaining musical integrity and professional quality. With the help of a speech-language pathologist, Time to Sing was created. The tempo has been slowed, but the music is still exciting and fun.
Time to Sing is performed by The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, with vocals by 13 singers and 15 children. There are 27 songs on the CD, including: Old McDonald, The ABC Song, Eentsy Weentsy Spider, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Wheels on the Bus and many more.
Time to Sing II features musical styles that range from an Elvis-style "Hush Little Baby" and a Sinatra-influenced "Rubber Duckie", to Reggae, Latin, Jazz and Folk arrangements. It includes songs such as This Old Man, You Are My Sunshine, The Muffin Man, Happy Birthday, Row Your Boat and many more. All children will enjoy these CDs, now that they have time.to sing!
