New CDs are usually released in stores every Tuesday. Take a walk through your local music store and check out what is being purchased. It might be an eye-opener. Music is an amazing window into what kids are thinking and feeling.  We are not necessarily recommending this music or the content of the CDs, however we do believe that anyone who works with teens should be aware of what they are listening to. Also, this is not a definitive list. We have chosen CDs from a variety of music styles as there is no one style that all kids like.
