Parent's Choice Award
Excerpt from the Jamie Lee article about Music Time for Parents and Grandparents, Tacoma Tribune, May 27, 2007:

"Robyn Dupuis of Gig Harbor is one who’s found appreciation in a musical path that didn’t require validation from the likes of “Idol” judge Simon Cowell.

Dupuis, who teamed up with her mother, Pat Denson, of Des Moines, Iowa, wowed enough Parents’ Choice Award judges to earn an honor for the album “Music Time for Parents and Grandparents.”

The 56-song album, released in September, received the Parents’ Choice Award Seal of Approval. It is given to wholesome products that aid in children’s’ development: emotionally, physically, socially and academically.

“We loved the simplicity of the idea and the full collection of those very simple childhood songs,” said Claire S. Green, president of the Parents’ Choice foundation of Maryland. “They’re all sung clearly and slowly enough to hear.”

Customer Reviews

"I love all those old songs. I learned most of them when I was a child myself. Now, with the help of you and your mother, I'll be able to teach them with my daughter to my granddaughter! It's a great thing that you did." - Jan Anderson, Ames, IA

"The Music Time CD of classic children's songs is a treasure! The songs are short, sweetly sung and the lyrics easy to understand. I bought 5 and have given them all away as gifts to parents, grandparents, families and caregivers that I know. And it's so convenient to always have such a unique gift on hand! Baby shower, birthday, Christmas, special thank-you gifts---I always have something to give that no on else has. It's inexpensive and beautifully done. I love it. " - Dee Dee Holser, Gig Harbor, WA

"Music Time has provided my daughter and I hours of fun time singing, playing and connecting!" - Debbie Petitpain, Charleston, SC

"Sounds like a great stocking stuffer for our young families. Not to mention that, in spite of all the rocking chair songs when the kids were young, I now do a bit of la-la-la singing myself!" - Carla Sutherland, Waterloo, IA

"I love the CD Music Time for Parents and Grandparents. I've given three as gifts already and the recipients are raving about it! This is a great gift!" - Meg Fagan, Newton, NJ

"Robyn, I ordered your wonderful "Music Time for Parents and Grandparents" and received a copy very promptly. Now that I have had an opportunity to play it, I want to order two additional copies for new babies in England (in-laws)!" - Ruth Swenson, Ames, IA

"I have a hard time listening to kids' CDs because they're typically too shrill or cutesy or just overdone. This CD is perfect because the songs are simply performed with pretty and playful (not grating) voices. Both my two-year-old and nine-month-old love the fun tunes, and we are all learning the words to sing along." ~ Tiffany Gresh de Berry, Lake Worth, FL

"When our children were little (approximately 30 years ago), I frequently played an album on my stereo that was filled with many of the same tunes you've included on your new CD. The stereo is now stored in the attic, and I've looked for a CD like yours, with no success. Then, VOILA!, here came the article about your new musical venture." - Mary Ann Moore, Waterloo, IA

"I have two friends who are pregnant and one who just had a baby. Music Time was the right gift at the right time. After listening to it they realized how much they had forgotten and how much their babies would have missed out on without the refresher." - Aamir Qaiyumi




Des Moines Register Music Critic Review

Excerpt from the Kyle Munson (Des Moines Register Music Critic) review of Music Time for Parents and Grandparents, Des Moines Register, October 24, 2006:


"Music Time for Parents and Grandparents" has an archival, preservationist mission but isn't utterly out of step with current music trends.

This homespun family project might never have materialized had Dupuis been able to track down a similar CD already on the market, "some sort of a basic resource with a basic melody line and words very clearly, nothing real fancy or chipmunk voices or anything like that."
