for all ages 3 years upwards
Go on an adventure into the world of classical music! Danielle (from TV's 'Young Entertainers'), introduces each track, setting the scene in a fun way that appeals to children.
Her enthusiasm is contagious! Children can enjoy hours of fun absorbing their cultural heritage, and learning through imagination, movement, drama and listening.
Sound effects set an exciting scene, then Danielle introduces each piece and its composer, and we hear the music without commentary.
To suit a child's attention-span, we've kept the pieces short - around three minutes. Some have been carefully edited.
Each track on the CD can be cued either with or without its spoken introduction. This allows classroom teachers to go directly to the music.
