Everything we do here at Rob Biagi Music is designed to get kids to:
- hear the gospel of Jesus Christ
- remember Jesus throughout the day as they sing the songs with you and to themselves (Deuteronomy 6:7)
- respond correctly to the saving message of Jesus

The lyrics Rob writes, the energy of the music production - all of it is designed to be engaging for your kids so they'll remember Christ at the breakfast table on a Tuesday morning, and on the sports field on Friday afternoon. Rob wants kids humming his songs.

But most of all, God wants the people he creates to be reconciled to Him (2 Corinthians 5:20b).

Be grateful to God!

Q:  If I'm in San Diego, California this week, why are my hands cold?!
A:  It's been unusually cold, windy and rainy!

I'm here for the Children's Pastors' Conference.  Kids' Ministry workers, artists like me, and resource providers from all over the U.S. and around the world are here for the annual event.  My wife and two girls joined me onstage for a "showcase" performance for the attendees.  Next year we hope to be back on the main stage during the General Sessions.

I've heard wonderful, affirming stories from so many of you who are friends and fans!  Thank you!

My booth is a "neon green" color scheme.  Very bright!  Today is my workshop on "The Top 5 Mistakes Kids' Worship Leaders Make."  Hoping for a good group that will be equipped and encouraged by what I share.

All right--I've had my morning jog and breakfast (Honey Nut Cheerios, an apple and a water bottle--thank you Smiths! [my host family this week]), so I'm off to the Conference!  I trust that you're having a good, productive day following Christ in whatever you do! - Rob

We love moms. Moms rule the worlds of the kids who listen to our music. Moms buy CDs, downloads, and videos for their kids. Moms drive the cars that have the stereos that play our songs. And we want moms to have an alternative to secular pop music.

We want kids to have music that is high-quality, biblical, wholesome, clever, fun, and memorable. We want kids and families to have something to talk about at breakfast on Tuesday mornings, and around the dinner table on Friday nights. And something to dance to together in your living room!

We want to continue to produce new songs and video product that makes your kids happy, and reinforces the values that you hold dear. New songs are being written!

Do kids go around singing the songs?

Good question. It’s THE question, actually. Children go around singing the most melodic, clever, memorable songs they’ve heard. Songs from musicals, Disney songs, adult worship songs.

But parents and Children’s Ministers don’t have time to preview all the Christian kids’ music CDs to find biblically accurate, high-energy, fun music.

And many Christian kids’ CDs sound like kids’ choir rehearsal CDs. Today’s 3rd-6th grade kids don’t like that sound and style.

And then there are the motions. Most Kids’ Church motions are either too simplistic, or too much like show choreography. [My wife] Kathleen Biagi makes up the best motions in the world, because her motions:
...are simple enough for the kids to learn.
...are complicated enough that it takes some "game".
...“Lift” the song and make it more fun and memorable!

And what about the heart and motivation of the artist? I want to support artists and companies that truly share my biblical values. Do you?

So, you need a website that's fast and easy, with Bible/Teaching Points so you can find which songs to use and when, what all the lyrics [not just the :30 preview section]. You need to see the motions so you can know how they will work in your church, home, or club.

This Website Includes:
- :90-second Previews of songs [with individual song downloads]
- Previews of Dance Moves [with individual song downloads]
- Which RobSongs to use in Kids’ Church, and when
- Kids’ Worship Leader Tips, Blog, Forum
- What People Are Saying About Rob

NOTE: Rob Biagi is also the Kids’ Ministry Music Leader at Compass Bible Church in Aliso Viejo, CA www.compasschurch.org

Since having vocal cord surgery last week, I've been on "vocal rest" [no speaking, no talking, no throat-clearning, nuttin'.]  It's been weird.

My poor wife is talking twice as much, trying to make up the difference.  People around me are talking louder, as if I'm deaf AND mute.  Funny.  Others are using hand motions [their attempts at Sign Language] in addition to their words, like that's going to help me.

My wife has called me on the phone a few times, and I've whistled to let her know I'm there, but I can't speak.  Then she laughs and starts asking me "yes" or "no" questions.  "One clap for yes; two claps for no."

It's been hard to do my usual songwriting sessions, because I do a lot of singing melodies and rhythms while I play my keyboard, searching for song ideas.  I've been feeling pretty useless.

I said I was going to read the Bible and pray, which I have, but I most enjoy speaking my prayers, which I can't do at present, so I've prayed less the past couple of weeks.  Booooo...so, I'm going to stop blogging and pull out my Prayer Journal [Word document] and start typing.  Bye for now!

Today I had surgery to remove nodules on my vocal cords. The surgery went well, the doctor did [what seems to be] a beautiful job zapping that laser around in my throat [I saw “before and after” photos], and now I begin 1-2 weeks of vocal rest.  Oh well...

I was under general anesthesia, so I’m feeling physically weak, but otherwise good and very grateful. My throat hurts when I swallow, so I need to quit bein' a baby.

Thank you for your prayers and thoughts of my family and me! My prayer and hope now is that there will be no scarring or damage to my vocal folds, and that I’ll have my full voice range back to make a new CD in 2012.

I will use this “quiet time” to read and study God’s word, to write in my Prayer Journal, and to compose melodies and chord progressions for potential new songs! – Rob Biagi 12/1/2011

Many of you know that I've been on "vocal rest" to heal the nodules and broken blood vessels on my vocal cords.  Thanks for the prayers!

What I didn't realize is how "not speaking" can keep you out of so much trouble! (Proverbs 21:23)  Seriously!  Every time I really want to "say" something, I have to decide if it's worth the hassle of writing it on the little white board I carry with me.  Most often I just keep quiet.

Abraham Lincoln was right - "'Tls better to keep quiet and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."

When I started out as a Kids’ Worship Leader, I wanted to captivate kids with our church's music time.  I wanted them to be SO PUMPED for music time that they'd never be late.  We started music at 9am SHARP, and Parker, the 4th grade boy, didn't want to miss it.

He used to stand at the bottom of the stairs and shake his dad's car keys so the family would "get moving" and not make him late to Kids' Church.

Then, he learned to make coffee.  The kid was INTO IT!

Is what we are doing in Children's Ministry compelling and captivating?  If not, let's make changes!  God deserves our BEST.

Last night a grandma came up to the merch table and bought all 3 of my music CDs for her grandson.  I love that!  You guys are SO supportive of my family, my music, and me.  You shine!

I often hear that my music is the "soundtrack" of your carpools, your neighborhood dance parties, your child's "falling asleep" or "waking up" time [not sure how it works for "falling asleep"...ha ha], and that you use it in your Kids' Church/Sunday School time.  One girl said that my music is "helping her get through graduate school."  Man!

But I'm excited and humbled to be a part of your lives.  - Blessings, Rob B.

I was at lunch with my parents at Chili’s Grill & Bar in Huntington Beach yesterday, and I was reminded that the servers there had done many things to help our daughter Natalie during her Leukemia treatment between 2007-2009.

It reminded me that I need to stay grateful and keep thanking those of you who prayed so long and so hard for Natalie and us.  We love you and thank you!

BTW – Natalie’s lab tests have been “clean and clear” since December 2009. So far, so great!
