Summary: Train their ears while they're still young
Comment: The first time I sampled this, I thought it was a bit 'corny' but I still bought it because of the very many recommendations it received.
I did not regret my decision because after hearing the whole album with my kids, I was just delighted to see them respond to each song so well so much so that after a few days of listening to it, they can already sing the lyrics. Hearing them hum the tunes while playing always brings a smile to my face.
Anything to make kids genuinely appreciate the beauty and finer things in life that many regrettably ignore now, I'm all for it. As with food, kids will lap up whatever their parents introduce to them. So this is good for starters alongside with the Classical Kids series.

Summary: Brilliantly done!
Comment: We borrowed this CD from the library and have maxed out our renewal limit because my kids don't want to give it back! The lyrics aren't just silly words set to famous orchestral pieces--they contain information about the composers and time periods in which they lived. My husband, a classical music "buff" has been very impressed as well. I plan to purchase this educational album, along with the other versions, as gifts for my own children--and for the other children in my life.
And I'm not exaggerating when I say that because of this cd, my 16-month-old son has been singing "Beethoven's 5th Symphony" to himself in his crib each night!!

Summary: Introduction to the classics for the very young
Comment: What an ingenious way to teach children about classical music and composers.
This talented group not only entertains but inspires.
Plus, adults are fascinated with the concept.
Your never to old to learn.

Summary: Teaching Kids to Love Classical Music
Comment: This is a great product. The kids love it. Some reviews have mentioned that the lead vocalist is not very melodic. However, I see this as a plus. He has a zany way of cracking his voice which is a hilarious complement to the other opera-class voices on the CD.
My kids seem to love the instrumental-only versions now that they associate these with the vocal versions.

Summary: Classical Kids
Comment: I bought this as a birthday gift for a little boy. My kids and I love this CD and like to give it as a gift for other families. It is so fun for the kids, but also it has helped me be able to identify and remember the songs. I tried to think of my favorite song, but I love every one; they are so catchy! "The Kings and Queens of England" is a compact little history lesson. I need to get another copy for myself; one I loaned out never came back. That's okay - this is one CD I want every kid to hear!

GENERAL FEATURES: Beethoven's Wig Sing Along Symphonies are zany stick-in-your-head lyrics set to the greatest hits of classical music. Filled with fact and fancy about the world's most notable composers and their masterpieces, each Sing Along Symphony opens the door to "serious music" in a way that's fun. As a bonus, the orchestral performance of each classical piece is included without lyrics. Educational entertainment for all ages.
