As a result of the Teddy Bear Band's foundation is in child development, the music and fun of Teddy Bear Band is created with the intent for children to gain and maintain a positive sense of self and an appreciation of their own abilities. The Teddy Bear Band made a conscious decision to not wear costumes like many other children's performers but instead is a real band, playing real instruments, in real time. Now with 25 years of experience the Teddy Bear Band has won numerous awards and national child development recognition.
