Wee Sing
Wee Sing was produced from 1985 to 1996.
Through music, the videos aim to develop children's listening skills, reading skills, and their ability to memorize, concentrate and pay attention. The series was begun in 1985, by music educators Pamela Conn Beall and Susan Hagen Nipp, who had been producing "Wee Sing" audiotapes and songbooks for children since 1977. By 1994 the series was described by Billboard magazine as having "...sold in the multimillions for almost a decade".
The first nine videos in the series are now on DVD and via YouTube and the publishers also have interactive apps "Wee Sing & Learn ABC" and "Wee Sing & Learn 123".
