Another great product for the classroom are our Songs of Resilience Music Videos. These videos share insight into the research behind each song and feauture a music video of the song being performed by David Kisor.
"David's songs capture the hearts of teachers and the spirits of young children. His songs are educational, fun and empowering. Three Rules and Self Control are just two examples of how children can learn important life skills and have fun at the same time. When I use them in my workshops they energize the room."
-Barbara Kaiser, Author of Challenging Behavior and an international trainer and Consultant
"David Kisor’s music is not only uplifting and fun, but it shows how music and song can nurture children’s social and emotional development. Growing Sound has done a valuable service in translating sound research into wonderful songs to support the development of children, families, and schools.”
