Educational Series
Education Through Music
Music is not only a form of entertainment, but can be an amazing learning tool. Incorporating music and rhyme into the learning process helps improve information retention and makes learning a lot of fun! As more and more music programs are being cut from schools, and homeschooling is becoming a more prominent means of education for children, I wanted to create something accessible to all that would help keep the joy of music in young children's lives. So, The Nirks® were born! Featuring Vincent and his merry band of mis-fit creatures and outer space friends that love music and learning.
Meet the Universe
Vincent, the lovable cyclops, takes you on a musical journey through our solar system, galaxy and beyond! This award-winning series features fully orchestrated, exciting songs that teach all about our universe. It is an excellent STEM learning tool for young children that ignites curiosity about our universe and excitement for learning.
Meet the Planets
Meet the Planets - up close! This Telly Award-Winning series features 8 songs - 1 performed by each planet in our solar system. Each song delves deep into fun facts and details about the planets in our solar system. A fun and whimsical musical STEM learning program kids and families will love!
Name Your Moons Challenge
This award-winning series is one the whole family can enjoy! Using rhythm and rhyme as tools, The Name Your Moons Challenge was designed to help kids learn the moons surrounding each planet in the solar system. Some challenges are pretty easy, but others, like Saturn, are constantly changing. Not only is this a fun learning activity, but it is great for family bonding time too! Can you master the Name Your Moons Challenge?
