Fred Koch

Fred Koch has already established a reliable career singing basic yet appealing folk music for kids. Furthermore, Koch has added to an excellent variety of initiatives for kids — being a composer, manufacturer, performer, and instructor. His unembellished design has regularly appealed to Midwestern preschool kids and their own families. Koch was created in South Haven, Michigan in 1951. After graduating from the Country wide University of Education in Evanston, Illinois in 1975, Koch started a teaching profession being a music expert for preschool to principal grades. 2 yrs later, Koch began performing skillfully. Koch created Crimson Rover Information in 1981 and released This Small Cow. The record featured Koch’s tone of voice and autoharp, and was perfectly received among preschool instructors. Two years afterwards, Koch released the aptly called Children’s Record, which highlighted traditional preschool folk music such as for example “Tingalayo” and “Alouette.” In 1989, Koch understood a longtime wish and made a special event of the task of Ella Jenkins. The effect was Do You Feed My Cow?, which highlighted a few of the most dearest folk music popularized by Jenkins, like the name trim and “You’ll Sing a Tune and I’ll Sing a Tune.” Do You Feed My Cow? gained two awards in the Parent’s Choice Base. Five years afterwards, Koch signed using the Melody Home label and started focus on an record that departed from his basic autoharp-oriented style. The effect, a rich record of holiday music called Tis the growing season, featured highly created and musically mixed songs, frequently sung by kids. Tis the growing season received another Parent’s Choice Honor and produced Koch a sought-after maker and arranger.
