Summary: Tasteful Children's Entertainment That Won't Drive You Nuts
Review: I bought this set for my children because it's been recommended by so many sources. We were NOT disappointed! My kids love this set so much that we're going to buy the Volume 2. The drama involves fictional characters that help to tell the true stories of the composers. The music of the composer in question provides the background music. A welcome replacement for Barney tapes;-)

Summary: An incredible teaching tool!
Review: This is a fabulous set! I use it in my classroom of 2nd graders. I normally have my students rest with the lights out for 10 minutes or so after lunch and we listen to classical music. This is the first time all year I have not had to remind anyone to stay silent. They are completely taken with these tapes! Several kids have asked me if they can please stay after school and finish listening to the story! This has launched an unexpected and wonderful teaching unit on the classical composers. To hear a group of seven year olds talking about how eccentric Beethoven was is a pretty exciting thing!
