A great way of introducing your children to classical music. A range of well known favourites that we at The Music Realm listened to ourselves when we were young…which was, admittedly many years ago, but they are timeless classics for a reason!
In this series you’ll find Prokofievs’ Peter and the Wolf, Holsts’ Planets Suite, Tchaikovskys’ The Nutcracker, Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty, Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals, Vivaldis’ Four Seasons, The Hall of the Mountain King by Grieg, Mozarts’ The Magic Flute, A Mid-Summers Night Dream by Mendelssohn and you can even learn to play some of the music yourself.
We also listened to Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Jimi Hendrix, but that’s for another post.
These are some of the most popular pieces of classical music ever written. Listen to them and you’ll understand why. Add to that an interactive book where you press (it apparently requires some pressure) on the page to hear excerpts from the music.
Naturally this doesn’t require an Internet connection, but I’d be wary of using it on public transport. There are some strange people out there who just don’t appreciate good music.
