When I had my kids, I would put daily processes through music. I could see how the lyrics and music went together and my kids seemed to learn better.

So, I thought this concept could work really well with other kids as well. That was when I came up with Kangakids.

How does music help in learning?

From when your kids are in the womb, they respond to music really well. As your child grows up, here are the ways music can help in learning:

• Improves test scores
• Cuts learning time
• Calms hyperactive children and adults
• Reduces errors
• Improves creativity and clarity
• Heals the body faster
• Integrates both sides of the brain for more efficient learning
• Raises IQ scores 9 points (research done at University of California, Irvine)

What about music and mathematics? Is it true that music can help kids learn maths?

Yes, music can help kids learn mathematics also. In fact, the advantage is two-fold. On one hand, you have songs that teach you about multiplication and tables, and on the other hand, you also have music that helps you to calm your child's mind, and help her retain mathematical problems better.

In other words, you are putting rhythm to math and also enhancing other skills in your mind that help her work with math.

What kind of musical CDs have you made already?

For Age 2 onwards

• Skippy's Rhythmic Rhymes
• Skippy's Animal Jamboree
• Skippy's Colour Magic
• Skippy's Underwater Adventure

Age 5 onwards

• Gift for Me
• Discovering the Body Machine
• Our Blue Planet
• Our India

These CDs are important because, for example, a song on the human body will never become redundant.

So, how does Kangakids work?

We have professional educational teams who put up different concepts and learning ideas together. Then we also have a writing team as well as lyricists who make it "musical".

How much does a Kangakids CD cost?

Times Music is distributing our CDs and it comes for Rs.300. The package includes the CD as well as a book of lyrics.
