Classics For Kids

Naomi Lewin introduces kids to classical music and somehow makes it stick. Each short episode focuses on a composer or a piece, explained without condescension but with genuine enthusiasm that even fidgety seven-year-olds respond to. She knows exactly how long a child's attention lasts and calibrates every episode accordingly. Parents report kids actually asking to hear Mozart, which feels like a minor miracle. If you want your children to develop some musical literacy without forcing them through painful piano lessons, this is a remarkably effective and painless starting point.
