If you’ve been around my blog for awhile, then you might remember me breaking my own “don’t blog about television” rule multiple times last summer when The Taubl Family was on America’s Got Talent.
The Taubl Family is a homeschool family from Connecticut with seven children. The kids are now mostly teenagers and above, and have been trained at many prestigious schools, including Juilliard School, Yale School of Music and the Hartt School. Besides their amazing voices with unbelievable harmony, they basically have their own orchestra, complete with a harp, cellos, violins, and violas. Their ability to compose songs in a unique way to fit their extraordinary talents is simply stunning!
I feel like I have a lot of personal connections with the Taubls, even though I have only been fortunate to meet them once, very briefly. But because they are homeschoolers, I feel that bond with them, and also because they performed a concert at our Church years ago. That concert completely blew us away – their unbelievable voices, extraordinary talents on multiple instruments – they were amazing!! We obviously left that concert with CD in hand.
The Taubls just released a new CD, which includes my personal favorite from their AGT performances, Rihanna’s “Umbrella”. I ordered the CD within minutes of receiving the release announcement email – I was so excited!!! Their version of “Umbrella” was even more amazing than I remembered – it literally brought tears to my eyes, especially towards the end where they all join in and sing with unbelievable passion!
They also have a wide range of styles and performance combinations on this CD, because it is a pre-release of several projects that different members of their family are working on. There is an amazing version of “Over the Rainbow“, as well as several original Taubl songs that are simply excellent.
And, the Taubls sent me five copies to give away to you!! I am SO excited to share the best kept secret in music with you!!

I have never heard of them…sounds like a modern day VonTrapp family!
I remember you blogging about them when they were on America's got talent. They are amazing!
Gosh how do you pick a favorite all the songs sound so good but if I had to pick I like Not that kind and Umbrella.
Wow. I've never hear of them, but the clips are amazing. If I don't win, I may just have to buy the CD!
Loved hearing them at SMI Church years ago and wish I could have seen them on TV.
I like the "Soon Enough" clip on their site. (And I think I think their version of Umbrella better than the original!)

I actually saw this family while watching "America's Got Talent" on the telly here in England and was very impressed. And, no, I don't really call it a telly. By gosh, it's a t.v. :-)
I'd love a chance to win their new cd.
I've never heard of them, but they are great! Very impressive!
I love "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". I'm always a sucker for that song!

I listened to the song clips and I don't know if I can choose just 1 favorite. I'm always partial to Somewhere Over the Rainbow, but I also loved Ripples on the Water and Not that Kind…it sounded like the same girl sang both of those songs, her voice is incredible!
