SiriusXM‘s Kids Place Live announced the launch of “Tunetopia,” a daily series of exclusive performances featuring kids’ musicians, award-winning artists from Kids Place Live, and music educators nationwide. The special programming is available exclusively on the SiriusXM app beginning today, in both video and audio forms.
“Tunetopia” on Kids Place Live will provide an assortment of fun and educational content for kids ages 10 and under, including interviews, games, and in-studio performances from artists specializing in family-friendly music, including Laurie Berkner, Jack Forman, Lucy Kalantari, Lisa Loeb, Brady Rymer, Danny Weinkauf of They Might Be Giants, and more.
In addition, “Tunetopia” will incorporate a special learning segment with music educators, including Matt Marshak (“Matt The Music Man”) and Darlene Graham of “Rockin Tots.” The teaching features include introducing kids to new instruments, and instruction on how to make drum beats, how to beat box, and how to keep rhythm, which helps children explore how sounds are made and shows them how to make music at home using a variety of household objects.
The “Tunetopia” collection of video and audio can be found within the SiriusXM app on Kids Place Live (ch. 78) and is available to subscribers nationwide and to everyone – including anyone who is not already a SiriusXM subscriber – as part of SiriusXM’s recently announced free streaming access period through May 15.
