Making the class ALL ABOUT THE KIDS is the most important thing...even if it means listening to Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers (who are slowly growing on me, btw). I've found some great kid friendly music that I've been using in class that I thought I'd share with you. This play list is good for 8-12yr olds:
-Hello Beautiful - Jonas Brothers
-Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
-Colors - Kira Wiley
-The Climb - Miley Cyrus
-The Best Day - Taylor Swift
-Dream - Miley Cyrus
-Fireflies - Owl City
-Love is On its Way - Jonas Brothers
-With My Own Two Hands - Jack Johnson
-Ordinary Miracle - Sarah McLachlan
-Walk Tall - Ziggy Marley
-Love, Peace, and Freedom - David Newman
-Namaste - Kira Wiley
-Simple Gifts - Jewel
-Hearts Awakening - Parijat
Thanks for this really useful post. You just saved me sorting through the music looking for uplifting songs for tweens. I'll be using this list on itunes.

Awesome! The kids love the current music and I love hearing them sing along while practicing! I'll be updating soon with another list, so check back!
