A NEW DECADE FOR PRINCESS DIANA

Leave a comment

The decade that just ended was one Princess Diana would have treasured.

Both of her sons – Prince William and Prince Harry, married lovely women:  Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, respectively.  Diana now has 4 grandchildren whom she would have loved and adored.

But that was not meant to be.  Tragically, she died in a car crash more than 20 years ago.  Princess Diana’s legacy continues as musicals about her life are flourishing in 2020 and beyond.

Singer/songwriter Karen Sokolof Javitch’s newly revised Princess Diana the Musical is being re-released by Heuer Publishing in early 2020.  Featuring over 25 of her original songs, one of the most touching is, ‘Hope in My Heart’. “It’s a beautiful song that Princess Diana sings while visiting a hospital.  Even with all of her problems, ‘hope’ is what she carried with her and ‘hope’ is what she gave to all of us.  In this new decade, there is still so much trouble in the world and divisiveness in our country. We could use a little ‘hope in our hearts’ right now,” Ms. Javitch reveals.

Princess Diana the Musical has been performed in many community theaters in the United States.  “Our production entertains audiences about the public and private life of this iconic woman and most beloved princess,” explains songwriter Karen Sokolof Javitch. “Even after many successful runs, I recently revised the script and songs and I’m thrilled to re-release it to America’s theaters through Heuer Publishing Company,” explains Ms. Javitch.

Javitch wrote the music and lyrics and co-authored the book with Elaine Jabenis in 2000.  The inspiring story journeys in song with the “People’s Princess” through her trials and tribulations of being an unknown 17-year old to becoming the most famous woman in the world. With Karen’s original songs, Princess Diana the Musical captures the grace, charm, compassion, and style that was Diana.

About Karen Sokolof Javitch:

Karen has written and produced 15 albums of her music, and she has co-written 4 musicals.  She was the creator and co-host of a popular Omaha, United States radio show, “It’s the Beat.”  Besides her musical about Princess Diana, her others are From Generation to Generation and Love! at the Café. (also published at Heuer).

These shows have been performed in many cities in the United States. Ms. Javitch has raised over $350,000 USD for US national and local charities with her original music and musicals. Featured image- from Princess Diana The Musical.

Leave a comment

Get your children ahead this summer

Summer is here, but that doesn’t mean your child can’t keep learning. Karen Sokolof Javitch’s album ‘YOU’RE MATH-ERRIFIC’ is out now.

YOU’RE MATH ERRIFIC features educational songs that can help your children get ahead. Use these songs along with other educational apps to help keep children busy this summer.

Karen’s diverse creations include songs about exercising, celebrities, holidays, political figures, babies, children, math, patriotism, love and family.

The album contains both fun and educational songs and can be found on her website, https://jmrproductions.com/

Here today to talk about her music is Karen Sokolof Javitch.

Questions:

  • What inspired you to create this album? I loved math as a child, but I know that many children struggle with it. So I wanted to write some songs that would be fun to listen to and be helpful with certain math concepts. I would recommend the songs for elementary school students.
  • How can these songs help children with their math? .All of the songs have catchy melodies and are all fun to listen to. I’ve included a wide variety of subjects – addition, subtractions, shapes, counting, counting coins, And I take certain numbers – like 9 – Mr. 9 (27,000 hits) and expand on the number – there are “9 baseball players on a field,” it’s “in between 8 and 10.” Nine is the “last single digit.” These songs are great in the classroom and for children who are home-schooled. Listen to the album in the car and have your children watch the YouTube when they are home because there are very cute visuals to go along with the songs.
  • What song is your favorite off the album? The first one – ‘I’m Math-errific!’because it’s very positive about math and about how we are all ‘Math-errific! Math is all around us and it’s fun! “Math is such a part of our lives! One, two, three and four and five! Math gives us such good vibes! That’s why we’re math-errific!”
  • What other music have you been working on? I just finished my first baby song album – and my two little toddler grandsons love to dance and clap to the songs! It’s really cute! I have written many exercise songs. Sometimes I write satirical political songs – I try and find the humor in politics! Like when all of a sudden there were 23 people running for the democratic nomination, which inspired me to write, “Why Don’t you run for President?”
  • One of your songs on the mother who had octuplets went viral with about 10 million YouTube views. What are some of your most popular songs and music videos? I have 15 albums and my album about Princess Diana has sold the most copies. Also on youtube, I have thousands of hits on my Princess Diana songs. I wrote a musical about her, as I feel she was such a exceptional human being. Some of my exercise songs are very popular – ‘Shake it for NObesity’ is one and ‘My Workout Place’ is another. – Mr. Nine is very popular. I have over 100 youtube videos.
  • Where may people find your music? Itunes, Spotify – cdbaby.com – and I have many videos on youtube – just type in my name – Karen Sokolof Javitch – or the title of the song and they will come up. I have a website where you can find my songs – JMRProductions.com – named for my 3 kids – Jenny, Mark and Rachel.

Return Of The Political Ditty We’re So Unhappy With Our USA Leaders

Leave a comment

With all the constant problems in our political system, Karen Sokolof Javitch has released the song ‘We’re So Unhappy with Our Leaders.’

The song talks about the constant arguments between Democrats and Republicans and pleas them to work together to fix the United States of America.

Karen has also released the song ‘Why Don’t You Run For President’ which introduces listeners to the many candidates running for the democratic nomination.

Karen’s diverse creations include songs about exercising, celebrities, holidays, political figures, babies, children, math, patriotism, love and family.

You can find her music at her website https://jmrproductions.com/ or find Karen Javitch on Youtube.

Here to talk about her music is Karen Sokolof Javitch.

  • What inspired the creation of your song We’re So Unhappy with Our Leaders? I get very tired of listening to the news and all of the fighting that takes place between the republicans and the democrats.  the democrats are moving further to the left and that is very frightening.  President Trump gets blasted for doing some of the same things that President Obama did.
  • What ways do you think our government needs to change? Congress needs to call out all of the people in congress who are anti-semitic.  They don’t seem to care about that.  Ilman Omar is on the foreign relations committee as a freshman and she seems to hate Israel and Jews and everyone on the democratic side keeps their mouths shut about that.
  • Which candidates do you think have the best chance against Donald Trump? At this point, I don’t think anyone has a good chance.  they are too far to the left.
  • Moving away from Politics, what are some other songs that you have been working on? Exercise songs – for all ages – old and young.  I just put up a video for my song – Movin’ to the Beat! where I selected old dance scenes from old movies and it turned out terrific!
  • What are some of your most popular songs? I have a musical about Princess Diana and I have sold a lot of these albums.  On youtube, one of my ‘octomom’ songs went viral and some others have thousands of hits. Again, my Princess Diana youtube videos and my exercise videos have done really well.  So have my children’s songs!
