Super Simple Songs

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

Devon and Troy over at Super Simple Songs made some nice changes to their site. Now you can watch their videos right from their home page.

They’ve also added some new videos, including Walking, Walking and The Days of the Week. I’m posting Walking, Walking for you to view right here, with Devon’s kind permission of course! Check it out. It’s particularly good for the preschool set. Then go on over to Super Simple Songs to see what else they’re cooking up over there.

Many thanks to Devon for allowing me to post this fun video!

How to Find Sheet Music, Tunes and MP3’s on Mama Lisa’s World

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

In addition to this blog, I also host Mama Lisa’s World. Mama Lisa’s World is a large collection of children’s songs and rhymes from countries all around the globe.

Matt, a music teacher from Rhode Island, wrote a question to me, the other day, about Mama Lisa’s World:

Hey Mama,

I love the concept of your site. It’s been exciting to watch it grow. My only frustration is not being able to find either written (preferably) or audio music to accompany the lyrics. How do I find the tunes for all these great lyrics?

Matt
Music Teacher, Rhode Island, USA

Here’s what I wrote back, I’m sharing it with you, in case it helps you too…

Hey Matt,

Thanks for writing!

We’ve just added basic sheet music to a lot of songs on the Germany, France, Hungary, Spain and Mexico pages – plus many others.

We’re now in the process of converting the whole site to a database. We’re halfway through. Hopefully by the summer we’ll have a feature that will let you do a search on songs that have sheet music, midis or mp3’s. Midis play the tune of a song. MP3’s are recordings – usually of someone singing the song.

But for now, the songs on the countries that are in the database are working on a simple system. On the country pages they have symbols next to the song if they have special features. Here’s the key…

KEY TO SYMBOLS
– this song has sheet music
Midi – this song has a Midi tune
MP3 – this song has an MP3 recording
– this song has a Video recording

If there’s anything in particular you’re looking for, you’re welcome to ask – in case I know if we have it or not – I may be able to guide you to the right place to find what you’re looking for.

And, of course, we’re always looking for more sheet music, midi’s and mp3’s, so if you’d like to contribute any from your culture, we’d be thrilled!

I hope this helps!

Mama Lisa

The Spanish Christmas Song Fum, fum, fum! Come see the video!

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

Mrs. Mynelle Howells’ 6AA Spanish class (2007) from Trinity Lutheran School has been wonderful enough to treat us to this video rendition of the Spanish song Fum, fum, fum. Just in time for Christmas!

Here you can read the Spanish lyrics, followed by an English translation that Mrs. Howells provided me. Then, sit back and enjoy the show!

Fum, fum, fum
(Spanish)

Veinticinco de diciembre,
Fum, fum, fum.
Veinticinco de diciembre,
Fum, fum, fum.
Ha nacido ya por nuestro amor,
El Niño Dios, el Niño Dios;
Hoy de la Virgen María
En esta noche tan fría.
Fum, fum, fum.
Fum, fum, fum.

Fum, Fum, Fum
(English)

On December five and twenty,
Fum, fum, fum
On December five and twenty,
Fum, fum, fum
Has been born by our love,
The child of God, The child of God,
Today of the Virgin Mary
On this night so cold.
Fum, fum, fum.
Fum, fum, fum.

I’d like to extend a big thanks to Mrs. Howells and her fantastic group of students for singing for us. (And to Mrs. Howells’ son for his help recording.) May you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Note: This post is a Mama Lisa landmark! It’s our first ever video. We think we’ve got all the kinks worked out, but you never know… So please be patient if you run into any technical problems.

We’ll be posting more videos from Mrs. Howells’ class over the next week or so!
