The Grammy Award for Best Musical Album for Children was an honor presented to recording artists for quality
children's music albums at the
Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards.[1] Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the
National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".[2]
The award was discontinued from 2012 in a major overhaul of Grammy categories. Starting in 2012, this category merged with the
Best Spoken Word Album for Children category to form the new
Best Children's Album category. This merger meant essentially returning to the categorization set-up prior to 1994 (although with a small name change), when recordings for children was covered by the
Grammy Award for Best Album for Children alone.
