DVD Reviews of Classical Baby 3-Pack - Music, Art & DanceDVD Review: Lost my original Classical Baby Music DVD and found this! Summary: 5 StarsMy son loves to fall asleep to this DVD. When I lost the DVD, I was panicked! He was teething and was having a hard time sleeping at night, but the music on the Classical Baby: The Music Show gave him comfort before bedtime.
When I found this three-pack of DVDs, I jumped right on this. It's a steal of a bargain, and the content on all three DVDs are perfect for teaching toddlers/young children about classical music, impressionist/post-impressionist artwork, and dance. My son loves to dance with the characters on the dance DVD, and the art DVD combines beautiful imagery, animation suited for grabbing a child's attention, and great music!
DVD Review: LOVE IT!!!! Summary: 5 StarsI recorded these (music show, art show & dance show) on HBO on a whim. Wanted to preview it & see if it was something I liked for my baby (he's 2 mos now) to watch when he was a bit older. At first we only got the music show but apparently there's 2 more music shows b/c now I have parts 1 & 2 & they're different from the original music show. But all 3 are AWESOME. Also love the dance & art shows but music is by far my fav. I put these on in the mornings after he's had his first bottle of the morning & I need to get ready. He does seem to like the music & the images are very fun for me to watch. I enjoy the music as it's not baby versions of the classics (my husband always wanted to know why people bought us baby mozart or baby bach cd's & not just the regular music)...after seeing this series I won't be buying the Baby Einstein videos...I was going to because I had seen them before but at $50 a pop, these are much more affordable. And the baby conductor is SO cute. LOVE 'EM! Can't wait til my baby is older & can enjoy them properly. :)
DVD Review: Great DVD for baby! Summary: 5 StarsMy 14-month-old son loves this series! We watch it every night to wind down before he goes to bed. It is so well done and some scenes still make me cry. I love the classical pieces played while showing real artwork masterpieces. I think it will teach children to love and respect the arts as they grow.
DVD Review: Use for Alzheimer's Mom!! She loved it! Summary: 5 StarsMom (age 88) loves music videos, classical mostly, and she loves babies and animals, so realized right off the bat that this cute set would be perfect for her. Mom has mid-late stage Alzheimer's, and she can't resist conducting along (which is not good when I take her to the SF Symphony!...Poor Brahms!(.
From the very first second, we fell in love with the set. Halfway through the Music one, two neighbor boys age 7, came over to get something to eat from the goodie drawer. As they were snacking on chips, they were totally captivated by the video, and laughed and commented in all the right places. I was surprised they did not recognize any of the pieces, totally unfamiliar. That's not the way we were raised, as we had 78s then 33 LPs by the dozens, and we kids put on albums and conducted the speakers in the living room.
So, if you have a senior who can't get out much, try putting on these videos. Studies have found that dementia patients will respond to the deeper aspects of music and art even when other facilities fade away.
Really these three are all classical music videos, but some feature clever dance sequences, the art one features unique inspiration from dozens of pieces of famous art. This can also be opportunity for senior to "chair dance" and conduct along...extra exercise. Perhaps useful for Alzheimers wards and nursing homes?
Sure Mom will enjoy seeing them again and again. Memory loss has its advantages sometimes.
Good job!
DVD Review: Simply great Summary: 5 StarsThis series of dvd are really outstanding. They are a great way to introduce young babies to art. The choice of music is great and also the performance is excellent. Animation is very good and non repetitive. The way animation interact with art masterpieces is very elegant and amazing. This is my favorite gift and I will strongly recommend
Description of Classical Baby 3-Pack - Music, Art & DanceThree Pack includes: Classical Baby: The Art Show: The gallery is set: it's time to see some of the world's greatest works of art accompanied by some great classical music. The exhibit features works by Monet, Degas, Pollock, Van Gogh, plus many other masterpieces. The music is playing, the tour is about to begin; it's time to explore Classical Baby: The Art Show! Classical Baby: The Dance Show: The animal dancers are stretching and getting limber, it's going to be a fantastic show featuring some impressive moves inspired by George Balanchine, Martha Graham, Pilobolus, plus many other great choreographers. The warm-up music has stopped, the dancers are ready; it's time to begin Classical Baby: The Dance Show! Classical Baby: The Music Show: The animal orchestra is warming up and the animals in the audience are buzzing with anticipation about the musical program featuring Tchaikovsky, Bach, Mozart and Copland, plus many other great classical composers. The baby conductor has made his entrance. The maestro is ready to lead the animal orchestra; it's time to begin Classical Baby: The Music Show! The fine arts have a universal appeal that offers an opportunity for forging intergenerational connections. Classical Baby is a three DVD set in which each DVD focuses on a single classic art form: dance, visual art and music. Each animated program is brimming with catchy melodies, brilliant colors, and fun animated animal characters that appeal to babies and toddlers as well as famous musical pieces, revered artwork and varied dance styles that encourage adults to share their love of the arts with a special child. "The Music Show" presents musical masterpieces from artists as varied as Bach, Mozart, Villa Lobos and Bartok and runs the gamut from large orchestral pieces to opera and intimate chamber music. Animated polar bears, toddling babies and violin-playing crickets ensure that little ones are fully engaged and entertained. "The Art Show" focuses in close on masterpieces from famous artists like Monet, Hopper and Degas and includes a snowy romp through a sculpture garden showcasing works from the 2500's BC to the 20th century AD. Accompanying the images are famous musical themes, ranging from classical to jazz and ragtime, and animation that allows modern artwork to spin and encourages cute little frogs to hop right into a Monet canvas. "The Dance Show" gives free reign to the imagination with animated animal characters performing dances inspired by great choreographers like Balanchine, Robbins, and Pilobolus in styles reminiscent of classical ballet, the Broadway musical and the silver screen. Adults may laugh aloud when animated sheep dance "Sheep to Sheep" ala Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, but the beauty is that a classic moment has been shared and a connection forged between the generations.
