Some folks have asked about the hand motions for Peace Like a River. This video is of the Friday Afternoon First and Second graders Folk music class doing the song for you.

Happy Birthday Song

Here is a really sweet birthday song that our kids love and are sharing with their families at birthday parties.

How To Make a Straw Oboe

The First & Second Grade class at BAM has been working on making how-to-videos for making the simple instruments we use in our songs. This video was done to show you how to make an oboe (reed instrument) with a straw. We write our own lines and these guys are getting pretty good at including some "sit-down" comedy in the video. Enjoy!

"Sana Sananina" African Folk Song

This video is of the Kindergarten class singing Sana Sananina. Great song that I learned in South Africa. The kids are using rhythm instruments that I have been collecting for years from all over the world. Enjoy!
