Whether they became world-famous pop stars, groundbreaking jazz artists, or award-winning songwriters, these musicians pushed boundaries and left their mark. In Kid Musicians, tune in to the childhood stories of musical legends such as:

• Beyoncé, who used to play truth or dare in the middle of the night with the rest of her music group. 
• Dolly Parton, who sometimes made up her own title, author, and story when she had to give a book report in class. 
• Prince, who would rush home after school to watch Superman on TV.
