In Italy, thanks to an accordance between Rai Tv and Antoniano Choir, from '50's, in the italian national Tv, every year in november, a sort of 'Sanremo', but only for children is 'on air'. That has been the first resorce by songs for children in Italy but, of course, in the time also many authors, singers and groups made songs for children, and tv cartoons from '80's, still now, made the rest. I love song for childrens. I start to play music, when I sing in a choir of my parish, when I was only 7- 8 years old, and, I must thanks to them if I love the music as now. The tradition of 'Choirs for childrens' in italy, is very very old; we can speak about 'sacred music', of middleages, but i don't know when that thing exatly started and why. We can only enjoin with that funny songs, very easy to sing and very helpful to learn italian language, for example....
