Free Music Notes for Beethoven's Wig: Sing Along Symphonies
Free Music Review: I hope the music will never end!
Hit: 5 Stars
I am an elementary music teacher and a performing musician.
Beethoven's Wig has given me so much pleasure since it arrived 4 days ago. I listen to it in the car, and I have had my kindergarten, grade 1 and grade 2 students listen to it in class. I'm singing the songs. We're all doing the Can-Can. I'm recommending it to every colleague and parent I see.
I can't remember having so much fun, and, some of the lyrics actually bring tears to my eyes.
Some reviewers have objected to Richard Perlmutter's voice. He will never appear at the Met :) However, for young children, his is a very safe voice to listen to. His friends on the recording demonstrate excellent singing. I actually enjoy the agogics in CanCan!
Free Music Review: Bravo!

We received this as a gift for my daughter and absoluately love it ourselves. I'm buying it for my niece as well as for my friends' kids.
As a (former) piano player and (former) child who secretly loved classical music, I think this is an excellent way to introduce kids to this genre. I like the way it's split into the "funny" music, but it also includes the full orchestral versions, too. My daughter already loves music, even her mother warbling off key, so I like the opportunity this provides to combine music with words beyond traditional lullabies and/or kids music that isn't that great.
I love this so much that I'm going to buy the second CD without listening to it - a major break for me since I'm so cost-conscious.

When I was rather young, just four or five years old, my mother got me started listening to classical music by numerous composers. I can't help but think of the fond memories I have of those days with my mom as we listened together and she taught me to appreciate this fine music. Therefore I sincerely believe this CD is a good purchase for children who are just beginning to get acquainted with classical music.
The first part of the CD preps the child to be receptive to classical music by the use of some fun and silly lyrics (which are well written) to go along with the music excerpts. As the CD tracks progress the same music is played again--but this time without the silly lyrics--to get the child to hear the beauty of the music. I think this is a valuable tool to entice kids to listen to and appreciate classical music. Children need to be exposed to the arts and this CD helps accomplish that.
The quality of the sound is rather good and the CD has a pretty good range of musical excerpts to keep the children interested. The liner notes are fantastic! They will entertain young and old alike! GRIN
One thing, though: I suggest you listen to the audio clips from the CD on this web site to see for yourself if you like Richard Perlmutter's singing. There seems to be some disagreement amongst the listeners (the adult ones who wrote the reviews, at least) so remember to give the CD sound clips a listen.
