Question: What About Christian Music Geared Towards Children?

Answer: I don't think that there is anything sweeter than the sound of a little child singing about Jesus. While Sunday school has a great deal to do with our little ones learning the songs, another genre' within Christian music that is especially for kids helps a great deal.

Artists like Carman, Sandi Patty and Steve Green are more Adult Contemporary, but they have released projects specifically for kids. Then you have music that is 100% kid-friendly, like songs from the popular Veggie Tales, The Cedarmont Kids and Brentwood Kids. The music for youth of the 21st century has even added a more modern flavor with compilation releases of currently popular music from major Christian labels like Integrity Music, Word Music and Fervent Records. And let's not forget the "tweens." Jump5 (Profile) was the first band that came out specifically aimed at the pre-teen group. Since they have disbanded, PureNRG (CD Review) and The Rubyz (Release info) have worked hard to fill the gap.
