Choosing Music

So, I have committed to creating video yearbooks for two Grade 2 classes at our local Elementary School, they happen to be my sons' classes. I am attending as many school and class events as I possibly can, recording the highlights of each one on video. Now, I decided that instead of leaving it all to the last minute, like I normally would, I would turn over a new leaf, and start assembling what I've got so far. We'll see how that goes.

Anyway, the first decision that needs to be made is the music. (Technically, I could edit the whole thing and put the music on later, but I think the finished product flows better when the music is taken into consideration while editing video.) But I am having a hard time figuring out where to begin when choosing music. On www.smallwonder.ca, there is a question of the week that refers to just this dilemma, so I read my own advice. That was really helpful.

Considering the age of the children who are starring in the video, the fact that it is related to school, learning and the classroom, and the potential likes and dislikes of the parents watching the video, as well as the number of different preferences involved, I am feeling overwhelmed by this choice. And I need to find 2 different songs!

Any suggestions? Anyone? Please?
