K Enrichment music

[MBrown]

Hi! I'm trying to gather needed items for the K enrichment guide. I haven't received it yet, so I'm not sure what the music selections are, but I'm wondering where we get them. Is there a CD with them all? Do we find them on the internet? Having everything together each week works better than me scrambling to find a missing piece, like looking up music online. So I would prefer CDs or MP3 lists if anyone has a suggestion. Thank you!

Spotify for MP Music Lists

Welcome!
Several of us have put together free listening lists on Spotify. If you are not familiar with it, Spotify is a free online listening service that you can search and listen to in any order you choose, on demand from a laptop or PC. Margaret (of the blossom family) has put together a "Memoria Press Kindergarten." You might be able to link it here, https://play.spotify.com/user/1262955914/playlist/7vQuanPWRunDVNBZG4Toc7
If that doesn't work for you, you can search the title of the playlist once you create an account. There is also a list for Jr. K, First and Second Grades. You can search "Memoria Press" and see what comes up.
Hope this helps! We often use the first and second grade playlists as background music for school time.

Oh, two things to note: 1) the music selections change from time to time so you might want to create your own personal playlist and use these pre-created ones as a starting point, copying those pieces into your list. 2) Spotify does include commercials from time to time which you cannot mute. If this is troublesome to you, you can subscribe and listen commercial-free. An added benefit of subscribing is that you can then listen on demand from tablets or mobiles. Otherwise the two later options will shuffle for you, much like Pandora.

Best!

Thank you Jessica! That sounds perfect! I'll have to check it out because I had never heard of spotify.

The other thing about subscribing is that you can download tracks to burn to cd. (we haven't, but for that reason it does appeal). I also believe Paul made a Kinder list after mine (not knowing about mine), but mine has more options on tracks (silly WeeSing versions as well as "Classics" etc - I did the same for JrK.

I purchased the music selections that I liked (e.g., I can't stand Woody Guthrie) on iTunes, created a playlist, and burned a copy to a disc for in the car.
Blessings,

Help

I tried installing spotify (the free app) and searching for "Memoria Press". It states that no results were found. Am I doing something wrong? Sorry...I'm new to this.

[pickandgrin]

I'm sorry about that! Are you searching on your computer/laptop or a phone/tablet? If on a computer, you can try this link: https://play.spotify.com/search/memoria%20press
Please let me know if that works!

I tried the link on my computer and phone, still no luck. :/

[pickandgrin]

What about this? http://open.spotify.com/user/1262955914/playlist/7vQuanPWRunDVNBZG4Toc7

[MBrown]

It worked! Thank you so much.

[CherryBlossomMJ]

Thanks Jessica. The other links are floating in this forum somewhere but I can find them if you need them..

[pickandgrin]

Yes, Margaret. I'd not remembered that--Great idea.

If anyone is curious about other lists, simply search the entire forum (a tab in the top right above all the listings) for the keyword "spotify" and you'll see all the previous threads where we discuss this.
