History
Super Simple Songs was started in 2003 by teachers of a small English school in United Kingdom. They created their own songs in place of children's songs that were too complex and difficult to be used in teaching. After increasing in popularity from other teachers, they released their first CD. In 2004, Super Simple Songs began uploading videos to YouTube. They originally uploaded videos of teaching tips for teachers on how to use their songs in the classroom. They started uploading videos just for kids after realizing that kids were also watching the teaching tips.[6]
