notes

Hi, my name is Derick Riley better known as "Mr. Derby". I write music, song lyrics and poetry. At an early age I developed a great love for music, often breaking the family record player trying to get the thing to work. Later I began writing my own music and songs. You see I believe music is the voice through which the soul speaks. I play several instruments but the keyboard is my favorite. As a musician I play by ear and I have quite an ear for music. I have been playing seriously now for about fifteen years.
I've been working with children all of my life. You see my mom started caring for children in 1964, when she founded The Nursery Hut Child Education Center. I along with my brothers and sister worked and eventually taught at the centers that we established. I attained my CDA in 1993 teaching 3 and 4 year olds.
I developed a music program for the Nursery Hut. We would start each morning off singing songs and dancing to conventional children songs but to my original music. Later on I started playing music at the end of the day, to keep the little ones from getting restless while waiting for mom and dad. Soon after that, I began receiving request from various parents for copies of the songs I performed, so that they could be played at home. Just my luck, one of the parents, Keith Washington, was able to help me with the recording my first CD, thus "Mr. Derby's Nursery Jams Live" Volume I was born.
We closed The Nursery Hut in 2004 and I decided to take my show on the road. I perform regularly with DC Public libraries and other Child Care Organizations.
I am currently working on volumes II & III, coming soon.

  • Mr. Derby's Nursery Jams
    author: L's Mommy

    My daughter's favorite song is Bunny Hop (aka "hop bunny" at our house) - when they play it at her daycare, 16 toddlers all start going wild, dancing and singing along.

  • This is a great CD
    author: Ava's Mommy

    My daughter really loves this CD. She hears it on a regular basis at daycare so we decided to have it at home. Now she wants to listen every time we get in the car. The Bunny Hop is the favorite. It really gets her jammin in her car seat.

    Great CD! It did not take my little one long to get in the groove, join along, and start jammin.

  • There is only one Mr. Derby! Children go Crazy over him!
    author: Trish McFadden of Kiddie Academy

    The traditional songs on this CD have a fantastic beat that EVERYONE of all ages will enjoy. I guarantee you will pat your feet, nod your head, or move your body to the beat.

  • Wonderful album

    My son's daycare plays this CD all the time and my boy just loves it. When he was was not feeling well, all I had to do was sing the "Bunny Hop" song and he'd light up right away. Keep up the good work!

  • I love the CD and so does my kids.
