About this project
GARY KAZOO: A KAZOO FOR YOU is a children's music project meant to introduce preschoolers to the concepts of rhyming, dancing, rhythm, melody and all sorts of excitement associated with music and movement. A whimsical, colorful character, Gary Kazoo sings, dances and kazoos his way through songs about a wide range of kid-friendly topics.
Edu-tainment (Educational Entertainment) for the preschool set....and their parents!
_______
WHAT I WANT TO DO
- Foster creativity in preschoolers through music
- Introduce young children to music fundamentals: rhythm, melody, rhyme, harmony
- Produce fun, educational music about subject matter appropriate for children under 6 years old
WHAT THE MONEY IS FOR
A 5-song demo CD is already complete. Funding will be used to produce and record a professional, full-length, 12-15 song CD
HOW I PLAN TO DO IT
With a BFA in Film and Television Production, 10 years experience running an independent graphic design studio and over 20 years as a professional musician, I will personally undertake many of the creative, technical, and administrative tasks required to complete this project, such as:
- Audio pre-production
- Layout, design of CD artwork
- Creation of print materials
- Set design
- Video production
By performing these tasks myself, all funds raised can be allocated to a few key areas: professional audio production, and CD mastering.
Any funds raised over the goal will go into CD duplication, the production of videos in support of CD, including equipment, video pre- and post-production, set design, duplication, and web design.
I thank you for showing interest in the Gary Kazoo project and your potential support!
Kazooing Always-
Gary Kazoo
PS - If you can't help out with the funding monetarily, please feel free to forward this link to anyone you may know who may be interested; that is also worth the world to me.....and if you let me know you got me a backer, i'll send you a kazoo.....and maybe a song or two : )
