Friends,

someone has just asked me to play for a birthday party this coming weekend. The audience is mostly kids under 15 (and perhaps their parents). I have no problem playing the parets' music, but what would you play for the kids?

Please give me some suggestions.

Thank you,
Alex

Alex email me and I will email you sequences that you will get over on them[Backstreet boys ,Christina A, Britney etc]..

Alex you have mail..

Donny it works every time I need to make kids happy..They are so surprised to hear their songs, and they sound pretty much like the record,,they just sing a long..

Donny, Fran,

Thank you very much. Fran, the stuff you mailed me was great. Donny, this is the type of stuff that the kids will enjoy with their parents

Thanks again,

Alex

Oops, I did it again...

I posted my reply and then noticed that Donny has edited his list out. If you don't mind sending it to me again, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Alex

Donny you 've got mail.

Fran your a genius!!

Hi Alex. The 'Happy Birthday Song' is always a WINNER no matter 'what' the age. In addition to doing it in traditional 3/4, I like to do it in a uptempo 4/4 dance beat as well. On the Tyros, I've used the following contempo styles for this: Disco Teens, Dream Dance, Latin Disco 2, or a Pop Shuffle Rhythm. Have fun experimenting. - Scott

Scott,

Thanks, that is a good idea. I will just go through the the 1000 styles I have and play Happy BD song with each. It should take care of about 20 minutes

Do you have any other suggestions?

Alex

Play a lot of fun upbeat tunes. If you're 'having fun' and display enthusiasm, the kids will probably like whatever you play. - Scott

Scott,

Thank you, this is a good suggestion.
