A far cry from the usual Frere Jaques and Alloutette, these highly original and catchy new songs are not only tremendous fun to listen and sing along to, but contain specific learning objectives compatible with the KS1, KS2 and KS3 curriculum, (colours, numbers, days of the week, months of the year etc.)

Each song is professionally written, arranged and recorded at Cherry Pie Music in Wimbledon, with native French singers used for all the recordings. Each song has a powerful identify of its own, with styles ranging from rock songs with big heavy guitars, crazy bluegrass with banjos and yee-ha’s, jazz and blues songs, rap, partytime and more. The CD also comes with a 35 page booklet with bilingual lyrics, grammar and vocabulary notes, plus a ‘karaoke’ CD to sing along to in class, in the car or in the comfort of your own home.

Cha Cha Cha Comme Ci Comme Ca is the product of a brand new company, Sing in French Limited, created by a unique partnership between Marie Atallah, songwriter and Member of the Institute of Linguists, and experienced producer Chris Dann of Cherry Pie Music. Each song has been cleverly crafted with a simple chorus that all that all ages and levels can immediately catch on to, then meatier material in the verses for students who already have a basic understanding of French. Marie Atallah says:

“We wanted to create a product that was great fun, and would work equally well for the classroom and for private study. To make it stick in children’s heads we obviously needed to create a top quality product so we wrote and produced the CD to the same standard as we would any other album.

It’s been so rewarding to see all the hard work pay off in trials with groups of children. They absolutely love it, they’re singing along in no time and always want copies to take home. We’ve also found that French children have an equally enthusiastic reaction, which is a great compliment to the songs and to Chris’ production in the studio”
