Jonathan Sprout has dedicated the past 20 years to creating meaningful music for children.

In 1994, after reading the results of a poll detailing children’s 10 heroes, Mr. Sprout was discouraged. Names such as Bart Simpson and Beavis & Butthead were at the top of the list…

5,000 concerts and over 750 songwriting workshops later, Sprout has returned with album #4 in his American Heroes series. American Heroes #3 was nominated for a Grammy in 2010 and Jonathan’s work has garnered critical acclaim in the field of educational children’s music.

The American Heroes albums detail the stories of historic legends ranging from Pocahontas to Neil Armstrong. With the help of Dr. Dennis Denenberg, the two “chose people who lived and breathed elements of good character and are good examples that children can understand and emulate.”

The list of heroes includes politicians, athletes, scientists, feminists, civil rights leaders, and other admirable individuals we should all know about from history lessons.

A respectable amount of research goes into each of these songs as will become obvious as soon as you push play.

This is a must own series for your children’s music collection.
