Questions:
- What inspired you to create this album? I loved math as a child, but I know that many children struggle with it. So I wanted to write some songs that would be fun to listen to and be helpful with certain math concepts. I would recommend the songs for elementary school students.
- How can these songs help children with their math? .All of the songs have catchy melodies and are all fun to listen to. I’ve included a wide variety of subjects – addition, subtractions, shapes, counting, counting coins, And I take certain numbers – like 9 – Mr. 9 (27,000 hits) and expand on the number – there are “9 baseball players on a field,” it’s “in between 8 and 10.” Nine is the “last single digit.” These songs are great in the classroom and for children who are home-schooled. Listen to the album in the car and have your children watch the YouTube when they are home because there are very cute visuals to go along with the songs.
- What song is your favorite off the album? The first one – ‘I’m Math-errific!’because it’s very positive about math and about how we are all ‘Math-errific! Math is all around us and it’s fun! “Math is such a part of our lives! One, two, three and four and five! Math gives us such good vibes! That’s why we’re math-errific!”
- What other music have you been working on? I just finished my first baby song album – and my two little toddler grandsons love to dance and clap to the songs! It’s really cute! I have written many exercise songs. Sometimes I write satirical political songs – I try and find the humor in politics! Like when all of a sudden there were 23 people running for the democratic nomination, which inspired me to write, “Why Don’t you run for President?”
- One of your songs on the mother who had octuplets went viral with about 10 million YouTube views. What are some of your most popular songs and music videos? I have 15 albums and my album about Princess Diana has sold the most copies. Also on youtube, I have thousands of hits on my Princess Diana songs. I wrote a musical about her, as I feel she was such a exceptional human being. Some of my exercise songs are very popular – ‘Shake it for NObesity’ is one and ‘My Workout Place’ is another. – Mr. Nine is very popular. I have over 100 youtube videos.
- Where may people find your music? Itunes, Spotify – cdbaby.com – and I have many videos on youtube – just type in my name – Karen Sokolof Javitch – or the title of the song and they will come up. I have a website where you can find my songs – JMRProductions.com – named for my 3 kids – Jenny, Mark and Rachel.
