DVD Reviews of Sesame Street Presents Elmo's Musical Adventures - Peter & The Wolf
DVD Review: A big hit!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a big hit with a young boy who loves both Sesame Street and music. He watches it over and over. Recognizable classical musicians interact with Elmo and the other characters. And of course Peter and the Wolf, by Sergei Prokofiev is a great way to introduce children to classical music, and has been performed worldwide since it was written in 1936.
DVD Review: Awesome Learning Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD to use with a summer music enrichment class I was teaching and the kids loved it! It does an awesome job showing the viewers what each instrument looks and sounds like and the kids love to watch it.DVD Review: Great for music lovers and Elmo lovers
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an elementary music teacher, so I got this to show my 1st grade classes as a culmination to our Peter and the Wolf unit. I love it for showing the kids how the instruments are played as well as the appropriate behavior for an orchestral performance. The kids loved the fact that these well-known characters were playing parts in Peter and the Wolf. My 2 year old Elmo fanatic loved it because...well, because it's Elmo. DVD Review: Great for K-1st grade
Summary: 5 Stars
As an elementary school teacher, I'm always on the lookout for great instructional videos for the younger grades (K-1st grade). This one fits the bill perfectly. The humor really appeals to 6-7 year-olds, and the action is not too intense. I especially like how this video deals with the duck's run-in with the wolf. Makes me laugh every time. One word of caution, though: this video is a bit less than 45 minutes. More like 40 even. Be prepared for a wrap-up lesson after viewing.DVD Review: great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids love ELMO but they get bored with the movies because they are just episodes clumped together normally. This movie is actually a movie with a plot and lasts more than 20 minutes. I also love it because it exposes children to the symphony and how stories can be told through instruments. Good pick for a semame street kid.
Description of Sesame Street Presents Elmo's Musical Adventures - Peter & The Wolf
Elmo and all your favorite Sesame Street characters get together to show how music and imagination can tell a story in this delightful Sesame Street special! Watch special guest stars Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Orchestra, along with Elmo and your Sesame Street friends, tell the musical story of Prokofiev's children's classic "Peter and the Wolf."Tag along for Elmo's musical adventure with Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf and prepare to strike an unlikely pose, with one foot planted in the friendliest, furriest neighborhood anybody knows and the other in a sophisticated, sonically souped-up concert arena--Boston's Symphony Hall. The video unites the two seemingly mismatched worlds seamlessly, pulling off its unstated but pretty obvious goal, which is to siphon off the classical genre's outermost layer of stuffiness to make it more accessible to little kids, with Sesame-style punch and simplicity. Baby Bear leads viewers into Peter's forest by way of his ticket to see the Boston Pops Orchestra. Backstage he meets conductor Keith Lockhart, who serves as tour guide for a thorough but breezy showcase of various instruments, allowing the lisping little bear to get a grip on which sound portrays which character. Happy-go-lucky Peter, played by a peasant-costumed Elmo, is center stage during violin solos; the scary-sounding French horn signals the approach of the wolf--normally a ferocious fellow, but in this case a harmless furry purple guy. These days, with the gospel about the benefits of music education spreading at fever pitch, this 45-minute gem could be promoted as a way to get preschoolers in on the action. Beyond that, it's a charming chucklefest that's as effective as any intro you'll find to the classic tale. Elmo tickles audiences of all ages as Peter, and Big Bird, with help from the bassoon, spreads his wings in the role of the brave but foolhardy boy's grandfather. --Tammy La Gorce
