Music for Aardvarks is the brainchild of the classically trained ex-punk rocker David Weinstone. His songs, originally written for the Music for Aardvarks classes he founded,reflect and celebrate the lives of children growing up in urban environments, while addressing themes universal to children everywhere. Wrote Time Out New York Kids, "it's no exaggeration to say that Weinstone has changed the musical geography of New York."Their latest album, All I Want!, was released in March 2011.
