Forward For Kids Programming!

Post by Casey H » Mon Oct 24, 2022 5:01 pm

A collaboration with the very talented Owen Grech got the forward! :D Thank you Owen! I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER!

The track: https://s.disco.ac/avhbzkudrvrt

The listing:
HAPPY, FEEL-GOOD INSTRUMENTALS for KIDS PROGRAMMING are needed by a great Music Library with lots of success in Film and TV placements for a variety of TV, Film, Promotional, and Advertising opportunities.

This Library is looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals in the general wheelhouse of the following references:

Just Kidding (from 2:03 - 3:41)

Andi Mack (from 0:27 - 0:42)

The Baby-Sitters Club (from 4:28 - 5:11)

Quoting the Library: "We're looking for kids-related material for the 9-13 age group."

Send them well-composed Instrumentals that create an overall happy, fun, bouncy, and positive vibe and feel that could work well for kids/preteen programming, promos, and entertainment. Your submissions should have uplifting motifs, feel-good grooves, and excellent arrangements. Instrumentation in the general ballpark of the references will suit your submissions best – think piano, claps, vibraphone, synths, bass, drums, funky guitar, etc. Please be sure your production is polished and any virtual instruments or sounds you use are high-quality and not dated sounding.

NOTE: This listing is geared at children ages 9-13, so please be sure that your Instrumentals are not too youthful sounding.

All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long (give or take) with non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture, and overall vibe. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.

NOTE: Do NOT submit any tracks with spoken producer tags/watermarks as they're not usable for film and TV placements.

This company offers an EXCLUSIVE deal. You’ll split any upfront sync fees 50/50. They’ll get 100% of the Publisher’s share, and you’ll get 100% of the Writer’s share. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Copyright. Since this is an EXCLUSIVE deal, please be sure the material you submit for this pitch is NOT already signed with other Libraries or Catalogs. Please submit as many Instrumentals as you’d like, online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PDT) on Sunday, October 16th, 2022. TAXI # S221016KD

Congratulations Casey and Owen, on the Forward for the Kids Programming! That's awesome-good luck with it:)

Ed and I have 2 CDs (in my name) of original Children's Songs on Spotify, itunes, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and in circulation in Public Libraries in the US. It's another aspect of what we do, having both taught for years. But we've never tried doing Children's Music instrumentals. That's a thought. And so happy for you both. Keep us posted!
