Buy, buy, buy, you won't be disappointed!

I purchased this for my daughters, but even as an adult I am enjoying this book and CD. It's fun singing, and learning about the composers, and the songs are funny. My daughter already recognized some classical tunes that wer e used in commercials.

Wonderful!

As an educator I haven't found anything better than "Classical Magic - Themes to Remember" (volumes I and II) for teaching children about classical music. In short, the kids love it. They feel they own this music. The emphasis is on theme recognition and fun. I move on to teaching musical concepts using the themes after the students know them but I love having children recognize classical music and composers as easily as they do what they hear on the radio.Because my students like handling the book I have stocked my classrooms with several copies of each volume. We get them out for small groups, listening centers and as a reward. We've also got them in our media center for check-out. The lyrics are catchy and fun to learn but they also TEACH! The name of the piece and the composer is there but you'll also find the historical information correct. This was obviously written by an educator who knows music and children. These books make wonderful gifts. They're It may be difficult deciding which volume to buy. The Nutcracker Suite in volume II is competing with the Peer Gynt Suite in Volume I as the favorite of my own kids.

As an educator I haven't found anything close to "Classical Magic - Themes to Remember" (Volumes I and II) for teaching children about Classical music. In short, the kids love it. They feel they own this music. The emphsis is on theme recognition and fun. I move on to teaching musical concepts after the students are familiar with the themes but I love having the kids able to recognize classical music and composers as easily as they do what they hear on the radio.Because the children like to get their hands on the book I have stocked my classrooms with several copies of each volume. We get them out for small groups, listening centers and for rewards. Our media centers also carry the books for the students to check-out.The lyrics are catchy and fun but they also TEACH! The name of the piece and composer are there but you'll aslo find the historical information correct. This was obviously written by an educator who knows music and children, not just marketing.These books make terrific gifts. The only problem may be choosing which volume to buy.The Nutcracker Suite in Volume II is giving The Peer Gynt Suite in volume I competetition as the favorite with my own kids.

PERFECT FOR HOMESCHOOL TEACHERS!

It's about time! Finally an author who found a way to introduce classical music to children on their own terms! My children take violin lessons using the Suzuki method and I am always looking for ways to slip classical music into their lives amongst the Disney tunes and pop-rock groups. It won't be long before your kids start recognizing classical pieces and their composers. If you are a homeschool teacher, this book is a wonderful way to teach your children about classical music. I highly recommend it.
