Beethoven's Wig: Sing Along SymphoniesBeethoven's Wig: Sing Along Symphonies by Beethoven's Wig
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $6.00
We love every CD is this series. Funny words are set to famous pieces of classical music. The words also help to teach about the composer. We recently attended a symphony event and three songs were from the Beethoven's Wig series. The children were on the edge of their seats waiting for their favorite parts. A must-have for any home.
