Baby Einstein : Meet the Orchestra - First Instruments (DVD, 2006)

My kids love the Baby Einstein series and this was a great tool helping them learn aobut instruments. The DVD was great quality.

I bought this DVD as part of a collection for my 2 year old grandson. He loves these DVD's, they are a great tool for teaching kids at a early age.

Bought this one to replace one my 2-yr. old son managed to break in half. He kept asking to watch it again. He absolutely loves it and now knows all of his instruments. One of his favorite Baby Einstein DVDs.

The price was a good deal and it was sent to right away. DVD in good shape and I was happy with my purchase.

I bought it first because both my children (2 and 10 months) LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Baby Einstein. I bought it here because the price was great!

This is another charming addition to the Baby Einstein series. Using entertaining scenarios and plenty of the beloved Baby Einstein puppets, this series introduces young and old alike to the many different instruments that comprise an orchestra. Baby may not fully comprehend the names of all the instruments in the beginning, but it will surely grow on him/her as he/she gets older. The catchy music selections and vibrant colors paired with intersting scenes make this one a winner!

My son loves this DVD! It is age appropriate (6mon.and older). I love the way each instrument is introduced. It has wonderful classical music! My son doesn't get tired of watching it! Even though I limit the amount of TV time my son watches , I don't feel guilty letting him watch this!

My 2 year old daughter loves this! I think she'll know all the instruments by name within the month! If your child has a strong interest in music, like mine does, they'll really enjoy this.

Got what I needed fast. Item arrived in a timely manner and I was pleased that it was in good shape. I highly recommend. Thanks!

DVD was in excellent shape. My daughter loves this movie. We have tons of baby einstein movies at home.

Great choices of music. Real instruments used. Children and teens are seen playing these instruments while it is clear that professionals are actually playing. It teaches the families of instruments: Brass, Woodwind, Strings, and Percussion. Would be great for daycares and young primary schools to show in their music classes P-1. My 1 1/2 year-old watches it well until about half way through. Then she begins to lose attention because it is aimed toward children with more advanced language understanding.

Decided to buy because it was less expensive than Toys R Us or any other toy store in the area. I don't like that ebay charges shipping per item. Because if you are buying let's say 4 DVDs from one seller, the buyer should get a price break for the shipping.

i would due buisness with again. it was fast and ez. product was as discribed in excellent condition. thank you.

This dvd is a great educational as well as entertainment for my son.He loves the sounds of all of the different instruments.excellent choice!

My toddler and baby love all the baby einstein movies they've watched. Bought this one to ad to our collection and both girls are mesmerized anytime it is on. A great way to introduce more music knowledge.

The disk was in great condition and we received it very promptly. Will surely purchasing more dvd's in the future.

I love the baby einstein dvds, because my baby has learned a lot from those, but this one its so boring!, we were almost sleeping!! We didn't like it!

I wanted this video for my son because he loves the einstein movies and of course he loves this one too..

My grand-daughter loves the baby einstein dvd's. It is the only dvd's she will sit through the whole thing. This instruments is especially good if your child loves music. My g'daughter is 13 months old. Highly recommend this seller and this dvd.

My kids really enjoyed this video and I liked that it covered so many types of instruments. There's lots of footage of real instruments and musicians playing them. I think my son would like a few more puppet skits, he really gets a kick out of them. He did specifically ask for this video today, though. I think this Baby Einstein will be enjoyed by older kids, my daughter (21 mos) is usually captivated, but actually lost interest in this one towards the end. My son(3 1/2 yrs), however, loves it.

The name "Baby Einstein" can trick parents into believing it's okay or even good for their babies to watch it, but the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television AT ALL to children under 2 because so many studies have proven its harmful effects on children. Studies have shown that:

- for every hour of television a baby watches a day, their chances of acquiring an attention deficit disorder increases by 10%.
- among babies ages 8 months to 16 months, every hour spent daily watching programs such as 'Brainy Baby' or 'Baby Einstein' translated into six to eight fewer words in their vocabularies as compared with other children their age."
- brain wave activity in babies is slower when watching television than when sleeping.

"Signing Time" (Two Little Hands Productions) DVDs is an excellent option for OCCASIONAL video viewing because communicating in sign language with your child is proven to:

- reduce frustration and tantrums
- accelerate language development
- promote parent-child bonding

Last thing for new moms - carrying newborn babies (in arms or next to body) an extra 3 hours a day resulted in 40% less crying. So carrying baby in a carrier or sling can help calm fussy babies!

I love this video for my children they have all grown up with them and each time a new one comes out I buy it because they are age approprate and geared toward learning in a fun way. This is my second orchestra dvd I lost my other one so I can't be with out.

This is a wonderful DVD. Education and music both very engaging and easily retained for my three-year old. One of my favorites of all the Baby Einstein videos because my son recognizes musical instruments used in other videos, so it provides fun and brain-stimulating continuity. Also enjoy the CD for car rides along with this DVD!

This was my son's favorite baby einstein DVD, however we left it at the babysitter's house and she can't find it - so I went to ebay to replace it. This is probably one of the better DVDs in this series, it has really cute music and the puppets and people play the actual instruments. It is the perfect length for his attention span as well (and gives me a chance to shower and dress!)
