Hello and welcome!
 
Hi. I'm Charlie (that's me with the guitar). I've been teaching and singing songs with kids and grups for a really, really (really) long time. It's a great thrill seeing smiling faces and hearing happy voices when folks join together in song.  It never gets tiresome. I love it!
 
If you're looking for a fun and original CD the whole family will enjoy, give a listen to Family Album. It has something for everyone, from ages 5 to 55 (and beyond).
 
If you're looking for a veteran performer/songleader for your next party or special event in the NY metro area please e-mail me with your wants and needs. Kids' songs, classic folk songs, classic rock and pop, you name it, I'm happy to oblige.
 
One final thought... always remember that the world will be a better place if we try to practice a little Give and Take in all we do. It's amazing what we can accomplish together!
 
Thanks for surfing by!
 
Peace and love,
 
Charlie Jaffe

It's a well known fact that families want fun music that everyone - kids and parents - can appreciate together. And wouldn't you know it? That's exactly what you'll hear on Family Album.

Audiences everywhere overwhelmingly agree it’s a fun listen!

We know most kids listen to the same tapes and discs and watch the same few videos over and over and over, again and again and again…

So with kids’ listening habits in mind, and because grown-ups are generally within earshot of their children's music, we adhered to some good, old-fashioned production values when we made Family Album; like those used on the music we grew up with...

Absolutely no looping or digital sampling went into the making of Family Album. Plus, it’s tasty too! It’s an organic recording, and best of all, it’s 100% handmade in the
U.S.A.


The songs on Family Album are child-oriented, family-friendly, field-tested and multi-generationally approved. There’s literally something for everyone!

The songs on Family Album appeal to kids, moms, dads, grandfolks, aunts, uncles, educators and other adult types that spend time listening to music with the young people in their lives.
