Press release –
Learn counting with Laurie! Laurie Berkner catchy new single, “Count to 100,” gets kids counting, first by ones and then by tens. “Count to 100“ is now out!
Set to the rhythms of a groovy bass beat, Laurie’s counting goes faster and faster as she encourages young listeners to join in and have fun with numbers.
“I love writing songs with numbers in them,’” says Laurie Berkner. “When I got a request for a new song where the numbers go all the way to 100, I was excited by the challenge. I used call and response so younger children singing along would hear the numbers before singing them back, and I increased the tempo to help older kids feel a greater sense of mastery as the song got faster. I hope ‘Count to 100‘ helps make counting even more fun!”
