1998 Parent's Choice Recommended Honors Award
1999 Children's Music Web Award

Peter & Ellen Allard have performed on the family and adult stages and presented Tot Shabbat teacher seminars to standing-room only crowds at CAJE 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, and 31 and were the 2000 keynote presenters for the Jewish Network at the National AEYC conference in Atlanta. They have led Tot Shabbat services at the URJ Biennial, and they are faculty members of Hava Nashira Songleaders Camp and the North American Jewish Choral Festival.

The third of their eight recordings, Sing Shalom: Songs for the Jewish Holidays, won a Parents' Choice Recommended Award, a Children's Music Web Award, and five of the songs are included in Manginot 2: The Complete Jewish Songbook for Kids published by URJ Press.

I was very impressed by what I saw at the Festival last week.

It is a pleasure watching you two in action. You are simply magical with children. I love your songs. They are so easy to teach yet have such catchy melodies. Most importantly, my students LOVE them!
-Jackie Berney

Peter and Ellen Allard were exceptional!! I have come home with more songs and information than I ever could have imagined. And while learning it was fun, fun, fun! I would highly recommend it for next year to anyone interested in learning children's music, which I felt covered more than just preschool.

To have a collection of new songs appropriate for our work is such a gift. We are so lucky to have 2 people who are so talented, giving and wonderful as they are. … Having fresh material to use when I teach at the preschool is so great---I am only having trouble deciding what song to use first!
