Carnegie Hall Kids

31 episodes

Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute makes short, kid-facing music videos in two strands. In Sing with Carnegie Hall, host Emily Eagen and guest artists lead whole-family sing-alongs built around one idea at a time: rhythm, feelings, movement, nature, or family. In Music Around the World, a musician from a living tradition teaches children one real song from their culture and the story behind it, spanning Haiti, Kenya, Mali, India, Puerto Rico, Appalachia, a Southeast Native American song, China, Mexico, Brazil, and more. Reach for it to build singing and listening skills while connecting music to world cultures and history. Free, vetted, and welcoming for the youngest grades.
