"They're so fantastic! Alex and the Kaleidoscope Band have a rare talent when even a two-year-old can sing along, and Mom and Dad have just as much fun as the kids! I've seen and heard a lot of musical acts as a children's programmer ... Alex and the Band have been by far the most fun on stage and on CD in our living room, car, playroom, kitchen, backyard ...." "The energy and enthusiasm that Alex and the Band bring to the stage had kids, and parents alike, singing, dancing and letting their imaginations run wild. Fabulous music, meaningful lyrics, exuberant energy...Alex & the Band exude such a contagious enthusiasm you can't help but sing and dance along too. Alex & the Band were great to work with - they have performed at the LPCA both during an Outdoor Arts Festival for families and a children's For Schools Only program. We would certainly welcome them back!" "Kaleidoscope Songs has received the Film Advisory Board, Inc. Award of Excellence recognition for its contribution to enhance family entertainment.The Review Committee believes the best way to produce sound ethics in kids is to give them the opportunity to experience music that opens their minds to great values. Kaleidoscope Songs Number One certainly leads in this quest.The beautiful arrangements and lyrics of songs like 'When I am Big', 'The Family Song', 'The Who's Who Song' and 'The Bed Time Song' ignite compassion, promote awareness, and opens our thoughts that we are all as one in this vast world. The vocals of Alex Mitnick and young choir add perfectly for enjoyment. Kaleidoscope Songs Number One is a great CD that kids will enjoy. The music is very entertaining and delivers great social values." - Film Advisory Board "Votes are in and your work/inspiration involved in the music of Kaleidoscope Songs is amazing. It's soothing tone and creative lyrics are simply beautiful. Congratulations on winning the Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award." "Scrumptious Music! Pure Energy...gentle truths...humanity...laughter... The CD is a magic kaleidoscope filled with the essence of human emotions. Every time I turn on the CD in the classroom environment the children look up from what they are doing and know it is time to gather on the carpet for singing, laughter, and pure silliness. We all start wiggling and making gestures to accompany each song! It is hysterical! During the BABY song we giggle like babies....and for the Tongue Song we stick out our tongues and make silly sounds. Last week during the When I Am Big song a little person stood up during the song and announced that he was getting big." From Parents"Your music touches my soul. From the opening track I Am to the end Bedtime Song the lyrics and music hit deep inside my psyche - a 45 year old father of one. 'I am', 'Try Again', 'The Who's Who Song', 'Togethe'r, 'Mother', 'My Dad!', and 'Blue Sky Time' are meant for the world to hear. Wow." - Mark L. Curelop, father of one, age 7. "My little 3-year-old daughter is just CRAZY about Kaleidoscope Songs 2!!! I mean, she's WILD about it! You know, we have other kids' CD's - When we listen to them, she likes them well enough, but never requests them. When I ask her what she wants to listen to, it is ALWAYS "the far-out guy" (so dubbed because Kaleidoscope is, well, far out!). And then, she dances like a maniac! We LOVE your music. As the Mom, I'm SO HAPPY my daughter gets such pleasure from such QUALITY children's entertainment. Thank you, thank you, so much, for what you do." "I have a 2- and a 1-year old daughter, and the older one instantly loved the CD. She still calls it her "new cd." My first reaction was "Wow, finally there is kid's music that I can enjoy!" After a few weeks, however, it has become evident that this CD is even more than that. My daughters dance with my wife and I on a nightly basis to the CD, and they request it on every car ride! We slow dance, we jump and shout dance, we just have an all around great time with the CD. I do find myself referring to some of the lyrics in the songs when giving them little "life lessons", like "it's OK to cry, remember what the cry song says?" and things like that. I myself am an amature musician in a band and have centered my life around music, and I really love your songs; the compositions and the presentation could not be improved on. Congratulations on producing such a fine recording and such great material!" "As we have been in the business of finding good children's music for a few years now, I have to tell you that your 2004 Kaleidescope Songs #1 remains the best single CD in my growing collection of kid's music. Your stuff is highly original, never trite. It's well-written and well performed with the accompaniment of REAL instruments. My girl connected with your stuff immediately, and I was happy to hear it over and over and over again with her. It's helped teach her to speak, sing, and think." PROGRAMS
