Rhymes without Reason

Children’s nursery rhymes have been passed along from generation to generation, some as far back as the 1600s! They’re fun, educational and thanks to their buoyant melodies become an enduring singalong for everyone. These cheerful adaptations make a wonderful way of introducing children to music. That's the charm of nursery rhymes.
