Customer Reviews

Great series, great collection
We've had the CDs in this boxed set for over a year now. The Classical Kids series has been wonderful. We have two boys (now 6 and 8) and this has been a great introduction to classical music. At first, the kids loved the stories that surround the music. The stories provide a sense of history and place and, ultimately, we found that they keep the kids interested in the entire CD. As they listened (time and time again) to the stories, they started to pay more attention to the musical portions that are in the background or that break up portions of the stories.

Recently, we've been able to tell that they've picked up a sense of the music as we've listed to classical music on the car radio. Time and again, they perk up when listening to a piece of music and surprise us by saying "That's Beethoven". Sure enough - they've picked up something about the style of music that's characteristic of Beethoven. Sometimes it's the snippet of music from the CD and other times it's just the rhythms that are characteristic of that piece. As a family, we all recommend this.

Tchachovsky Discovers America
Okay, maybe the Amazon title doesn't describe exactly what you are getting, an incrediby kid-oriented story with classical music playing in the background. But these stories use a kid's imagination and really interest them in a composer. My children beg to hear Tchaicovsky! (I know my spelling is wrong). "Mommy, please don't play your music; I want to hear Tchicovsky again." (for the fourth time in a row!) How many kids beg for you to buy Swan Lake so they can hear how it ends? I think this CD creates a love of classical music in a way that kids can enjoy. Good long trip tape, although I have had to sit in my driveway for them to hear the end of a story after coming home from school.

Great Start
This is an excellent beginning for classsical music, and supplement. It does not replace a classical music education , but for those who have no idea where to start, this is fun and is excellent for those with short, short attention spans or are used to the Brittany Spears generation. For those with an extensive music background, it is limited to the quite young.
