Free Children’s Music on the Internet


Have you got a Child Studies assignment where you need music for kids?

Have you left it until the last minute? And you need children’s music urgently?

If you answered yes to any of these questions the internet might just have the answer for you.



http://freekidsmusic.com/ Features songs from a host of independent artists who produce music for young audiences. All are guaranteed to feature child-friendly lyrics, be of a professional quality and most are tunes that parents will be happy to bop along to. Offerings include punk-influenced songs from bands called Boogers and Jam Toast, shoo-wop ditties about pancakes, and sing-a-longs about monkeys, spiders and dancing teddy bears.

http://www.mamalisa.com/ Mama Lisa’s World: of children and international culture, has a range of items available to the user such as, “The House of English nursery rhymes”, “Children’s poetry”, “Food and recipes of the world” and “Kid songs from around the world”. Select a continent or choose a country by a letter of the alphabet, to access the music available. Just look for the following symbols:
