DVD Reviews of Sesame Street Presents Elmo's Musical Adventures - Peter & The Wolf
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. DVD Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
My two year old sister & I watched this video six times in one day! We both love it! I was deeply involved in the music department while I was in high school and I love how much she enjoys watching the story and listening to the music. It was appropriately editted for children (taking out the guns, the wolf eating the duck, etc.) and I'm thrilled they featured the Boston Pops Orchestra! Wonderful!DVD Review: Elmo's musical adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great way to introduce children or students to Peter and the Wolf and orchestral instruments. My music appreciation class loved it and they remembered the instruments much better than from the audio tape I used previously. There is a little creative deviation from the original Peter and the Wolf story, but it didn't really interfere with the presentation. We loved it!
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
