If Donny & Marie are considered 'a little bit Country & a little bit Rock & Roll,' then Austin is a LOT Classical. There are worse things in life than being a Classical music junkie, right? So I'm not too worried about this particular obsession.
Recently I was contacted to see if I would like to review a new CD series by Decca called Little Music Lovers. I was expecting a Children's sing along type CD, so imagine my delight when the Sampler CD arrived and it contained various "famous works by renowned composers such as Bach, Beethoven and Mozart along with well-known lullabies that will accompany little ones through all of their daily activities including play time, story time and of course, bed time."
During a recent play date I busted out the Smart Music Series Sampler to see how Austin & Elijah liked it. Apparently, they agree on one thing: Classical music. And as you know music calms the savage beast, so of course Mom liked it too!
The Little Music Lovers Smart Music series includes:
Little Music Lovers: Beethoven - Smart Music for Story Time
Little Music Lovers: Mozart - Smart Music for Play Time
Little Music Lovers: Bach - Smart Music for Activity Time
Little Music Lovers: Lullabies - Smart Music for Bed Time
As you can imagine, Austin is in Concerto heaven! I think Bach is his favorite so far, Brandenburg Concerto No.4 in G is the perfect soundtrack for him running crazy through the house.
I said he liked Classical music, I didn't say he wasn't a typical 2 year old!
Just in time for holiday shopping, Little Music Lovers CDs would make a great stocking stuffer (hint, hint) and are available for $6.98 at Amazon.com.
Thanks for peeking,

Great suggestion. My son absolutely loves music and has more rhythm that most adults. Here from Tuesday Toot. If you get a chance please stop by my blog and vote. My charity could win $500 for our endowment. Here is the link. http://www.divinecaroline.com/awards/Aug-09/2758-parenthood-for-me
Thanks much.
That sounds great! My daughter used to go to sleep every night to Mozart. She loved it!
Cute, sound like a great set of CDs for both baby AND mommy!
We had a classical music CD when our youngest was a baby. I loved listening to it when I was rocking her to sleep.
Great review!
Neat! It's been a while since we did the music to bed time thing. I like that this includes a variety of composers to suit the activity! Thanks for sharing!
And, is that cheap for a music cd/a great holiday gift or what?!
That's pretty neat. Is there somewhere I can hear sample songs online?
