Tiptoe Giants

Tiptoe Giants are an Australian children's music group made up of Leanne King, Megan Lipworth, and Vanessa Couper. Their music is aimed at children from 0 to 5 years old. They were nominated for the ARIA Award for Best Children's Album in 2020 for Colour the World.Tiptoe Giants write, record and perform original music for families to enjoy together. Between them they are professional musicians, Sydney Conservatorium graduates, music educators, a registered music therapist, a professional writer, professional dancers, mums, aunties, 2020 ARIA and 2022 AIR Award Nominees. Their songs are deeply rooted in music therapy and education, and cognitive, social, and emotional development, while also providing pleasant and enjoyable sonic and lyrical experiences for kids and their grown-ups alike. Fun and catchy music overflowing with 'hidden vegetables' for hearts and minds of all ages. With sophisticated and carefully-curated instrumentation, sweet harmonies, and arrangements that stretch the young listener without overwhelming, Tiptoe Giants take inspiration from an immense breadth of musical genres, their own prolific experiences in education, music and the performing arts, and many of their own personal songwriting heroes, to create a truly varied and profound body of work across their three albums to date. The trio pride themselves on creating songs that toy with conventional forms, employing sophisticated language, concepts and messages, and they enjoy straying from predictable phrasing and harmonic progressions, while staying true to their mission to also be musically and lyrically accessible - Tiptoe Giants' songs are intended to be recreated by other educators, therapists, musicians, students, patients (and campfire-guitarists too!), so that the embedded benefits of their thoughtful and carefully-crafted songs can be shared beyond their own recordings and live performances.
