    Recommended by Parents' Choice
    The premise behind Sing Along Symphonies is that children will learn some of the great melodies of our stellar composers (Beethoven, Liszt, Mozart, Offenbach, Haydn, Purcell, Delibes, Schumann, Bach, and Tchaikovsky) if they can sing silly lyrics along with these modified versions of symphonic hit-parade tunes. The problem is that the words written to accompany these melodies are often hard to sing in time with the music, even for an adult. So, there won't be much sing-along going on. However, the music is undeniably beautiful and well worth introducing to young audiences. The accompanying book includes some nice suggestions for activities to further spark a child's interest in classical music.
