I love music and I want my girls to appreciate it as well. We sing songs all day long and they love music in general, but I don't have time to do much with classical music appreciation. However, I have found some great CD's that my girls love that are helping them become familiar with classical music. We mainly listen to them in the car and during rest time.
1. Alfred's Music for Little Mozarts Cd's: There are 2 CD's in each case: a music lesson with fun characters and a CD of fun songs. These are my 3 year old's favorites! She asks to listen to"Beethoven Bear and Mozart Mouse" almost every day at nap time. The music lesson explores the very basics of music theory at a child's level and the fun CD contains a lot of the great classics as well as some songs just for fun.
2. Classical Kids CD's: These CD's usually take a famous composer and tell his story while incorporating his famous works. They are very interesting. We have Mr. Bach Comes To Call and Classical Kids Christmas and are hoping to get more.
3. Beethoven's Wig Sing-Along Symphonies: These CD's are hilarious (although occasionally annoying) and my girls love them. They take a famous classical piece and add silly lyrics that usually contain something close to the composer's name and title to help children's remember them. My girls find them incredibly funny but my husband finds them a good bit annoying.
