The Biscuit Brothers! * Emmy Award Winning Children's Program on PBS stations

Greetings from The Biscuit Brothers!
It was wonderful to meet so many people that share our passion for music and the difference it can make in a young person's life! It was also great to hear all of your feedback about how you are using The Biscuit Brothers DVDs, CDs and lesson plans in your elementary school classrooms.

Now that you're back at home and your bags and brains aren't quite as full as they were at TMEA, we thought we'd send some simple links to tell you more about the Biscuit Brother Music Education Project.

The Biscuit Brothers is a music education television show for elementary age students that is seen on PBS stations. We believe that music empowers children in all areas of their personal and academic growth. We believe that children should be creators not just consumers of music. Using a wide variety of interactive educational strategies, a myriad of musical styles, engaging characters and a liberal dose of humor - we encourage students to GO MAKE MUSIC!

Read on to learn more and watch your email inbox to confirm your subscription to our regular e-news ... we're sending out free updates and downloads all year long!

You'll find audio and video samples from our Emmy Award winning TV show and much, much more.

Purchase Biscuit Brothers DVDs and CDs - perfect for classroom use. Each episode focuses on a musical concept (Rhythm, Pitch, Conducting), and our "Instrument of the Day" and "Crazy Classics" segments help expose children to a wide range of instruments and classical music pieces in a fun-filled way.

Net proceeds from the sale of CDs and DVDs are used to fund the Biscuit Brothers educational projects, like our PBS TV show. Thanks for your support!

Lesson plans, activity sheets, print outs and more! A great supplement to the DVDs. Be sure to visit often for new activities.

Bring the EMMY Award Winning cast of the TV show to perform at your school!

Our highly interactive live show can be customized to fit your needs, all age groups, any length, with a number of different educational themes. Your entire student body will be singing, dancing, learning musical concepts, even writing a song together! Most important of all, the live concert uses music to encourage your student body to work together as a group.

Be sure to ask about possible TCA matching grants to help pay for the show and also about combining efforts with another local school - when we perform at 2 schools on the same day it makes it more affordable for everyone! For more info: Email or call Eric Frankhouser (512) 426-9863
