1. Tell us how you started collecting all the se songs in the beginning.

As former elementary music teachers with young ch ildren of our own, we realized that we wanted to sh are children's songs with our own kids, but we had a hard time remembering all the words and melodies to many well-known, traditional songs. At that time (almost 30 years ago), we couldn't find collections of traditional children's songs in stores, so we start ed collecting our own. We did this by asking grandp arents, teachers, other moms, and friends what son gs they remembered from childhood. We also did re search at the library to make sure we had a wide variety of the most familiar children's songs.

2. When was the first song video tape made and how old are the children in that video clip now?

The first ¡°Wee Sing¡± video (Wee Sing Together) was produced in 1984. The children in that video are now around 30 years old.

3. Tell us how you feel about the newly revi sed Wee Sing DVD is about to launch in Kor ea soon.

We are very excited about the ¡°Wee Sing¡± DVDs lau nching in Korea. Music is such a universal langua ge and we know that through music and song, lear ning the English language for Korean children will be much easier.

4. Tell us your own, unique way of using 'Wee Sing' songs to your students.

When we sing ¡°Wee Sing¡± songs with children, we like to become like children ourselves by singing and doing the motions right along with the kids. The children learn more easily by following along with the teacher.

5. Why do you feel so strong about the nee ds of 'Wee Sing' songs to the children in E FL situation?

Music is a wonderful educational tool. Not only are children singing and having fun, but also they are learning vocabulary and concepts that are being rei nforced by melody, rhythm, repetition and movement. The songs included in much of the ¡°Wee Sing¡± coll ection are songs that been sung by children around the world for many generations. These songs have catchy tunes and lots of repetition, which help mem orization.

6. Tell us how the children and their parents could use 'Wee Sing' songs in the most effe ctive ways in their daily lives.

Children respond to music in a positive way, so it¡¯s nice to sing with them whenever possible. Singing a little song while changing diapers, taking a walk, or riding in the car helps keep a child¡¯s attention. A parent can also just have fun with their kids by joini ng them in songs such as ¡°Ring Around the Rosy¡± or ¡°Head and Shoulders.¡± Clapping songs and fing erplays are also fun to share together. Lullabies and quiet songs before bedtime help to calm childr en as well as create a special together time with parents or grandparents. As parents become more familiar with songs, they will feel more comfortable singing along with their children. A special bond is created through sharing music.

7. What is your favorite song in the 'Wee Si ng' song?

With such a huge collection of songs, it is hard to name a favorite. We have many favorites.

8. Was there any memorable moment or unfo rgettable incident of collecting songs?

It was very special to talk to older people about their favorite childhood songs. It was as if they were re- living their childhood. It was amazing how well ma ny of them could remember the words, melodies, and motions to their favorite songs. It was also very interesting to realize how many different versions of a specific song we came across. We learned that as songs were passed down from generation to ge neration, the same basic song could be remember ed many different ways. We ended up choosing the version that was most familiar to our own memories.

9. Tell us the characteristics of nine titles and why they are all needed to the children.

Each of the nine titles has its own story, which is enhanced and driven along by music, song, and da nce. The stories are situations to which young chil dren can relate. Each story has a moral lesson and also includes many specific learning situations su ch as counting, learning the alphabet, coordination skills, colors, animals, foods, transportation, music al concepts, vocabulary, etc. The DVDs are interac tive and encourage children to get up and sing and dance along with the characters. Children learn mo re quickly this way and they have such fun as they become involved.
We strongly believe that music is a valuable educat ional tool that makes learning easier and more enjo yable.

10. What does the 'Wee Sing' mean?

In English, the word ¡°wee¡± means small or little. Th erefore, ¡°Wee Sing¡± means songs for young children.
