Nope! First name Pete... last name Harry

Now that you have an "account" or "username" you'll sign in at the bottom right hand corner of my website page where it says "Login." Once you are logged in, this link (in the bottom right hand corner) will turn into a "My Stuff" link. This is where you'll find all of your purchased content. Once inside of "My Stuff," click on each piece of content (song, video, etc.) that you've purchased individually and download it by clicking the save button (looks like a floppy disk icon) in the top left hand corner of each song. I have also created a pdf document with screen shots, for those who are more visual in nature. Click here to download this pdf.

For now, I'm solely offering digital song downloads, in the .m4a format (plays/burns just like mp3's) and videos in the .mp4 format. I'm constantly coming out with new music, so instead of offering a categorized "CD" and then bopping myself for making one more "math" song and having nowhere to put it, I've gone the route of digital downloads. No, they are not on iTunes yet, but may be in the future. Many of the songs are also available to purchase in video form.

Buy the video here! I have done my best to make the videos DIRT CHEAP so that teachers can afford them! Please do NOT rip my videos off of YouTube and use them in raw form illegally. Please do NOT rip videos off of my page and upload them to yours. Thanks!

In February 2014, I took off a good chunk of my song content to "re-make" it in various ways, making the songs more professional, more marketable, and just plain better! The vast majority of videos that were removed during that time will gradually re-appear as I re-make them one by one. I truly appreciate your patience as this process is taking place. Thanks for being a fan!

Here's the difference...

I will continue to make freebie videos (ones you can just stream on YouTube for free) periodically, so continue to check back to see if I've posted any.

My children's music is a blend of styles, with many of the songs containing rap and hip-hop. Nonetheless, every song is fun and educational. I believe strongly that music for kids does not always have to sound "cheesy," even for younger-aged children. My music is heavily influenced by Jack Hartmann, who I got to meet at a teacher conference in 2009. Please consider checking out Jack's stuff too! (www.jackhartmann.com)

My music can be used in a whole host of ways in the classroom. Many Pre K-2 teachers highlight my songs in their morning opening time or calendar time, sometimes utilizing an interactive whiteboard or PowerPoint. Many of the songs can be used for transitions in the classroom (walking to the carpet, changing positions, etc.) and of course just for general teaching of standards-based concepts. I personally have a defined song time each morning in my own class, where music and movement is the centerpiece! I've also sold hundreds of songs to educators who are looking for snazzy end-of-the-year graduation songs for their class to sing to parents. Please contact me if you'd like suggestions.

If you desire to have your class or group of students perform one of my “Harry Kindergarten” songs for an audience, please note that there is a small $6.00 PERFORMANCE FEE.

Here are some hypothetical examples of performance groups:
* Students perform a song for an audience during a graduation ceremony.
* Students perform a song for an audience during a school or community talent show.
* Students perform a song for an audience during a school assembly.

If you are unsure if you need to purchase a performance license or not, please inquire at: pete@harrykindergartenmusic.com. If you want more details about using a song multiple years or multiple classes, etc., e-mail me for a detailed PDF file.
$6.00 can be sent to:

Harry Kindergarten Music, LLC
508 Stewart Street
Bellwood, PA 16617

If you have clips of your students and/or children singing my songs, we'd all love to see them! Please share a YouTube link of it or the raw video of your kiddos at my Facebook group page:
www.facebook.com/groups/harrykindergarten.

Remember to make sure you have the permission of the students' parent/guardians before you post it to the Internet!

While I am extremely busy, I've had hundreds of terrific phone calls and e-mails with various educators as a result of Harry Kindergarten Music, and love to collaborate. If you have any ideas for a song, just want to "chat education," or have further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at pete@harrykindergartenmusic.com, or through the "CONTACT" tab on this website's menu.

YES. While my schedule is tight (I am a real classroom teacher!), I do take on speaking engagements at teacher conferences, schools, etc… Please don't hesitate to contact me at pete@harrykindergartenmusic.com, or through the "CONTACT" tab on this website's menu to set up a speaking engagement. I typically speak on the use of music and technology in the early childhood classroom, classroom management, and facilitating a morning meeting. Rates/prices vary depending on the event.
