Big Beats for Young Peeps offers teachers and parents of children from ages 0–8 high-quality, age-appropriate instrumental selections that provide rich musical beats and rhythms for movement activities. Young children, in particular, benefit from listening to instrumental music because it allows them to concentrate on the musical characteristics of a piece without being distracted by the words (Epstein, 2012).

The 20 tracks on Big Beats for Young Peeps reflect a variety of musical genres, including hip-hop, jazz, reggae, Latin pop, and techno.
