Music Show #169 –9/20/2019 – School Day Songs

Songs written for and recorded with young students.

Today on the Fresh Toones Music Show I’ll be sharing some of my “School Day Songs.” These are songs written and performed with some of the under-served students in the City of Rochester, New York.

This is one of the animated music videos that the kid’s made to the Fresh Toone “The Learning Tree.” I was lucky enough to have a fine singer, Misty Adana Aleyce Browning, offer to sing for the video.
