As a first time parent I want to give my child every advantage I can. Studies have shown that playing music to your child helps to enhance their learning ability.

I saw "Baby's First" cd series and as they were so affordable I decided to go ahead and buy them without hearing them first.

My decision has been rewarded! The cd's are very good, and provide hours of music to stimulate my babies mind.

Buy this CD today, you won't be disappointed, and neither will your youngsters! :)

This CD features a wide variety of instruments: organ, guitar, piano, harpsicord, harp, strings, and orchestra. Different pieces and instruments have caught my baby's interest at different times. I have also enjoyed listening to them, especially the melancholic Pavane by Debussy. I like to play #2-5 to help baby go to bed. But I have to make sure I turn it off before #6, which gets really loud and wakes her up! Too bad the volume is not consistent between selections (a few really quiet pieces followed by a rather loud piece), so be ready to adjust the volume if you're using it to get the baby to sleep. But it does have a good variety of pieces, from soft melodies to cheery arrangements.

I purchased this as part of a three CD (Baby's First sing-a-along and Baby's First Fairy Tales) set for my then unborn daughter to listen to in-vitro in 2001. Although my daughter is now seven and three-quarters years old (self-described) we still enjoy this wonderful compilation. It is quite soothing. I must admit I now listen to it much more often than she does - well, I actually claim it as mine!

If you want your children to have an appreciation for classical music, this is the perfect tape to do just that. The music is all wonderful. You can't beat a price like this for true classical music.
