This review is from: The Best Classics for Kids (Audio CD)

These three CDs include a wonderful collection of classical music. We often play them as background music while doing art projects or playing dress up. My children love to "dance around" to the music. There is truly a great variety of music in this set. It would make a great starter set.

This review is from: The Best Classics for Kids (Audio CD)

This is simply a wonderful 3-disc set of beautiful and appropriate classical music for children. The first disc is all Beethoven classics such as Symphony No. 9: Ode to Joy, the second disc is all Mozart and the third disc is a well-selected group of classics from Chopin to Debussy. The thing I love about this set is that while the pieces are not too "challenging" for a child to enjoy, they are not overly edited either to make them sugary pop entertainment. We listen to these CD's quite a lot, especially during art time. If you want to introduce your children to classical music I would certainly recommend this one; you will definitely enjoy listening to it too!
