On August 11th, kids, teachers, and parents will be grabbing their egg shakers to join in as the children’s album,
PLAY IN MY BAND, lands squarely at the heart of the children’s music landscape. Singer, songwriter, and traveling music teacher, Stacey Peasley, moves to the head of the class with this album--a sonic gem, brimming with folk-infused guitar and beat stomping bangers.
What makes this classroom classic an essential tool for ages 6 and under, is how adeptly it blends early education standards and brilliant songwriting. The tune-filled treasure trove will enhance classrooms through songs that align with key math, science, English language arts, and dance classroom standards. Peasley’s charming vocals fill the shoes of your favorite teacher, while inviting all who stumble on this dynamic album entrance to the dance. Each track is informed by Stacey’s years of experience, not only as a professional musician, but as a classroom teacher.
Stacey Peasley has been a professional musician for over 30 years and has made an unforgettable imprint on children’s music. While this is her 6th album, her previous albums and work as a songwriter have gained accolades from Parent's Choice Foundation, NAPPA, Creative Child Magazine. Her songs have received recognition from the International Songwriting Competition, as well as the School Library Journal and Midwest Book Review. While pursuing her musical career, she still found time for academics as a public school teacher.
The real inspiration for, PLAY IN MY BAND, however, came from her on-the-ground work in early childhood classrooms. Her pedagogy comes through dinosaur dances and drum circles with the very audience she seeks to capture. According to Peasley,
“As an early childhood music educator, I get to see first-hand the content that is being taught in the classrooms and really get a feel of what kids like!”
PLAY IN MY BAND, gives everyone permission, courtesy of our headmistress of song, to step outside of their comfort zone and join the frolic. What are you waiting for?
