| Not only do we meet the four FishKids™ Red, Copper, Blue and Neon, we also meet their other FishKid™ pals. Friends like Puffy, Stinger, Barry Cuda, and the twins Star and Astral. Of course you cannot have a school without an illustrious faculty. Staff like Mrs. Mackrel the principal, Coach Grunion, Counselor Crab, Nurse Shark, Mr. Keys and Mr. O, the school custodian. (OK, so he's the Janitor.) |
| Your first video is "Red's Musical Misadventure" Atlantis Elementary School is very much Red's oyster; he is definitely a big fish on campus. The confidident fishkid swims effortlessly through classes, is a star at most sports and has lots of friends. Then one day in Miss Angels's musical class he finds he has to use his very own voice and sing in front of EVERYONE. Red is petrified. The perils he faces and the help he gets from his fish friends make a whale of a tale, with lots of music and laughter along the way. So join Copper, Blue, Neon and their underwater pals for much music and merriment as Red prepares a concert for Principal Mackerel. Original songs include: "FOUR FISH FLY FREE™ Theme Song", "Monkey See Monkey Do"; and "Miss Angel's Teaching Blues." Musical education notes: *Voices used as instruments *Breathing techniques *Echo singing Approximate running time: 30 minutes |
| The second video is: "Neon's Imagination Vacation" Neon reports to the other Fishkids™ that his vacation took him to an Neon reports to the other Fishkids™ that his vacation took him to an exotic island where flowers eat rocks and plants dance. Everyone seems to have had the most splendid vacations imaginable - except for Puffy, who sadly relates that he stayed home and did "nothing." Puffy, who sadly relates that he stayed home and did "nothing." When Miss Angel assigns each student to make up a vacation song, Neon runs into big trouble. For he never really went to his exotic island. In creating their song, both Puffy and Neon learn that true adventure comes in lots of shapes and sizes and sometimes even the things closest to home can be looked at in very different and surprising ways. Original songs include: "It's All In How You See It"; "The Pitch Game"; "Fama U Wow Wow"; and "Puffy's Song." Musical education Notes: *Pitch *Intervals *Melody Approximate running time: 40 minutes |
| The third video is: "Copper, Rhythm and Blue" Copper is the brain of Miss Angel's music class: her fin is the first to go up with an answer to every question. But when it comes to feeling and understanding rhythum, she has a very big problem. Even Coach Grunion can't seem to help her with his marching beats. Thank goodness Copper is not alone Counselor Crab shares her problem; He has never been able to dance and needs to learn before his cousin's wedding. For Copper's friend Blue the beat is as natural as swimming; Blue has been playing drums since before she can remember. Can Blue, Miss Angel and Nurse Shark help Copper and Crab solve their rhythm problem? Original songs include: "Rhythm Dance"; "The Beat In Your Feet"; "Crab's Lament"; "Mouth No Move, Drums No Play"; "Listen To The Rhythm Of Your Heart" and various other chants, cheers and rhymes. Musical education Notes: *Beat *Rhythum *Chants *Elementary percussion exercises Approximate running time: 40 minutes |
| "Barry & Stinger's Friendship Formula" Is the fourth video The Fishkids™ are more than ready for another underwater foray into the world of music. Miss Angel divides the class into teams and gives them their new assignment. But somehow collecting sounds and arranging them into songs is a baffling experience, especially for Barry Cuda and Stinger. Fortunatly, they happen upon Mr. O, the multi-talented custodian and octopus of all trades at Atlantis Elementary School. With his artful aid and instruction, Barry and Stinger combine their sounds and ideas into a rollicking song. Neon and Copper are not so pleased with the results of their collaboration and Blue seems a little bewildered by the lesson. The student's questions and concerns lead Miss Angel to explain the difference between form and style in her own special and dramatic musical way. It is in this video that we meet Mr. Keys, a talking keyboard fish who from time to time helps Miss Angel teach music to the Fishkids™. Original songs include: "Same And Different"; "Artist's Formula"; "Minnow, Minnow"; "Rock & Reed" and "Styling". Musical education Notes: *Soundscapes *Musical Style *Musical Form *Natural Sounds *Lyrics Approximate running time: 40 minutes |
| "Astral's Great Aspirations" is the fifth video. Astral, Star's twin sister, has been blind all her life and is feeling a bit sad. She feels like she can't participate in as many things as her other FishKid™ friends can. Miss Angel, with the use of a Time machine Chair, takes the Fishkids™ back in time where they meet Mozart's fish "Otto." They learn about the history of Music, of Mozart and Astral learns something about herself. Original songs include: "This Starfish Will Never Shine"; "He's A Genius" and "Anything Is Possible." Musical education Notes: *Music History Review Approximate running time: Unknown at this time. |
