_,_,_ EVERY kid loves The Conductors, yet their music is especially appealing to kids on "The Spectrum" and those with Attention Deficit Disorders. The simple arrangements and sparse musical instrumentation are easy on the ears of the hyper-sensitive, and because of the subtle approach taken in recording these songs, they actually draw the listener in.
_,_,_,_,_,_,__,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_ Because of the shortness of each song and over-all brevity of the CD, attention-challenged children find it easy to digest the whole CD in one listen, making for repeated plays and immediate sing-a-longs.
_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,__,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_ And finally, PARENTS, we predict that this will be the one kids CD that you will actually listen when the kids are NOT present!! After all, it was written and sung out of pure love by a real parent, just like you... _,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,
