Fiddlefox is a Story About Family
I believe that music is innate to each child. Every child has music within themselves waiting to be discovered. It is a relational activity, and inside the home is where music thrives. Created at Rock and Roll Daycare in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Fiddlefox was born out of a desire to bring the music of the world to children and families. Fiddlefox gives the words, sounds, and pictures that stir a child’s imagination. Fiddlefox is best enjoyed with one another, and as families gather with the materials, it is not only knowledge that is gained, but memories spent together.
Fiddlefox brings music home.
A Musical Bridge Between School & Home
Share in your child’s musical learning at school by singing along at home. Schools and families can work together to practice voice skills in the classroom and the car seat. With all recordings from our Grammy-winning production team streaming on Spotify, parents and educators can easily access music from any collection to join in the fun.
Raising Conscious Global Citizens
At Fiddlefox we believe our society finds strength through diversity. Today’s children are growing up in an increasingly nuanced, inter-connected world that requires cross-cultural acceptance and grace to advance, work together, and solve pressing global issues. We are proud to celebrate a wide range of countries, the people and artists who make them who they are, and the next generation to carry on to these treasured cultural traditions.
World Heritage Songbooks
Each World Heritage Songbook collects and translates four beloved children’s songs from countries across the globe. Each song features text in its native language and English translation, with lush, colorful illustrations from Gabriela Issa Chacon. Our Grammy Award-winning production team records world-class musicians playing traditional instruments to accompany each book on CD and streaming on Spotify. With a set of matching bells, young musicians gain confidence and independence as they read our rainbow notation and take the music into their own hands.

The Fiddlefox Story
Telling the story of the world is a big job. With mountains to climb, seas to cross, and deserts to pass through, it is not a job for the faint of heart.
Fortunately, we have the honor of knowing a certain explorer who takes a certain liking to tall tales and dastardly pursuits. The Fiddlefox, a gentlemen and a scholar, travels the globe pursuing the sights, sounds, and tastes of all that is around him. It is he who will be our guide as we dance with Russian bears, meet with Chinese dragons, and find ourselves in the company of Jamaican tarantulas.
