我的第一个孩子八岁，学钢琴两年多一点。平常很喜欢听一些古典音乐录音。我们
自己买些给他，不过大部分都是从图书馆借。今天介绍的这一套也是最先从图书馆
发现的。

这套录音名字叫 Classical Kids, 附标题是 A Symphony of Stories for all Ages,一共有7张CD，一盒 Video， 介绍了6个作曲家：Vivaldi (Vivaldi's Ring of Mystery), Beethoven (Beethoven Lives Upstairs), Mozart (Mozart's Magic
Fantasy, Mozart magnificent Voyage), Tchaikovsky (Tchaikovsky discovers Americaa), Handel (Hallelujah Handel),Bach (Mr.Bach comes to Call),还有一张CD 是 Daydreams and Lullabies, VIDEO is Beethoven lives Upstairs.

My NJStar Chinese WP is not easy to use, so start from here I am going to continue iwth English.

Each CD introduces the composer's life combined with the famous pieces they have composed. The stories are arranged in a very interesting and kids' friendly way, easy to understand and fun to listen. My boy especially likes Bach Comes to Call, it started with the telling of human being landed on the Moon and stuff the astronauts brought to the space (which includes Bach's music). All the CDs' music is beautifully played and it is a award wining series.

this series will help you start knowing something of the famous composers, and it will also arouse your children's interet into classical music and the composers' lives. Even if your children are learning instruments already, it is good to just enjoy the music.

there is a website to visit: www.childrensgroup.com

I am not advertising for this series, I am just recommending. there are so many parents wanting their children to learn an instrument, why not to start with finding how beautiful music can be, and the joy it brings to our lives.
