Sing Along Symphonies by Beethoven's Wig (CD, Mar-2002, Rounder Kids)

Would you love to interest your children in classical music? Both of my kids, 9 and 12 when we first heard this first CD, know all the words to every song, and since most of the songs name both the composer and the title of the music somewhere in the song, they also know the traditional piece when they hear it. The words are fun and will make you laugh out loud, each CD plays the all the songs once with the silly lyrics, and then again in a more traditional manner. We were interested in this one after a cousin introduced my mother to Beethoven's Wig 1. Since then we have purchase the second and just recently the third. I loved Hooked on Classics as a young person, but I truly think this is even better. Hope you love it as much as we do.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL CD TO INTRODUCE GREAT MUSIC TO YOUNG CHILDREN.
ITS GREAT FUN AND HIGHLY ENTERTAINING. I PLAY THIS WITH MY GRANDCHILD
ON OUR LONG DRIVES TOGETHER ONCE A WEEK. IT KEEPS US BOTH INVOLVED.

I borrowed this from the library and my kids took an instant liking to these songs. They begged me not to return this. The songs are silly and very catchy. My kids recognize the music any time they hear it now. We are all becoming more aware of classical music and loving it.

It's hilarious. My kids love it and so do all my music professor friends in the college music dept. I work in.

I started playing this when our young grandchildren (2 and 4) were visitng. They liked it so much that every time we got into the car they asked for their favorite cuts. Some adults got tired of it, but the children never did. I'm sure they will carry some of these tunes in their heads forever. I often heard them humming or singing music from the recording.
