WHATEM 2 - fun and funky songs for big kids Featuring artists from Bluebird Foundation's newest CD for Aussie school kids including Chris Wilson, Sarah Carroll, Sophia Katos, Lash78 and more!
ABOUT THE PROJECT
WHATEM 2 bravely charts the rocky road that children and their parents navigate together from preschool to puberty. In 2008, parents and teachers alike loved whatem choo - a CD for preschoolers composed and recorded by local Geelong musicians. But they lamented the fact that once they went to school and began to outgrow ‘kiddie bands’, children had no choice but to move on to top 40 music, with themes generally more appropriate for teens or even adults. In whatem 2, some amazing local musicians have once again composed songs in a smorgasbord of musical styles, only this time, advice on how to get on with your mates and experiments in pushing boundaries have replaced action songs and nursery rhymes. Some of the themes here may still challenge parents, (and kids), but in the end, this is a CD about sharing good music and starting conversations .
