Happy Music Monday, everyone! It’s a new week and Nickelodeon is rolling out fresh new episodes of the Fresh Beat Band starting today, Monday, October 19 to Thursday, October 22 at noon. As if new episodes aren’t enough, the preschool music series will also feature a new music video every Friday from Oct. 16 through Oct. 30.
We had the chance to check out one of the new episodes, “Hocus Pocus,” and I have to say, it was pretty hilarious. Twist is up to his usual silly antics and this time he has a ball with some magic tricks.
Despite how I might feel about the show, I’m all about being fair and balanced here on NKT and I even try to do the same when it comes to kiddie programming in our own home. Try is the operative word here. Like most families, we love music and I have to say, the music appreciation lessons on The Fresh Beat Band are wonderful for preschoolers.
So, if your kid wakes up singing Loco Legs or begging for Shout, Marina, Kiki and Twist (mine does, I swear,) be sure to check out the Frest Beat Band’s new episodes this week.
Here’s the lineup of the new epsisodes:
Monday, Oct. 19 — “Hocus Pocus”
There’s a Talent Show at music school and Twist wants to do magic tricks, only his tricks don’t quite work. First he makes the Fresh Beats’ instruments disappear, then he switches everyone’s voices and finally he makes them all disappear. Luckily, the re-appear at music school just in time for the talent show, but there’s one problem – the still don’t have their signature instruments. Will the Fresh Beats be able to pull out a magical performance?
Music Curriculum: Drum roll
Tuesday, Oct. 20 — “Freeze Dance”
It’s a scorching hot day and Melody leaves The Fresh Beat band in charge of making smoothies for her customers while she goes to the market. But the Fresh Beats have a hard time remembering the ingredients, Shout keeps forgetting to put the lid on the blender, and the smoothies are so ice cold that everyone who drinks them freezes.
Music Curriculum: Music cue
Wednesday, Oct. 21 — “Sing with Me”
When Ms. Piccolo picks Kiki and Shout to write a duet together about something they love, they each come up with different ideas – Kiki wants to sing an opera duet, and Shout wants to sing a rock & roll song. The Fresh Beats need to figure out a way to combine both ideas into one duet for Ms. Piccolo.
Music Curriculum: Duet
Thursday, Oct. 22 — “Smoothies To Go-Go”
Melody’s Groovy Smoothie is hopping with customers wanting smoothies, and she can’t supply them all with smoothies fast enough. It’s a good thing Kiki put on her new roller skates that morning because it gives her an idea. She’s going to go Allegro, a musical term that means quickly and lively, and create a smoothie delivery service -Kiki’s Allegro To Go-Go!
