I don't buy into the "TV is bad for children" hype. I think it depends on the content and the amount of time spent watching. I began watching these videos with my granddaughter when she was just a few months old. I bought the three DVD video set and it was part of her "bedtime ritual" up through the age of about 2 to watch one of them each night. She is four and a half now, she still likes to watch them when she is trying to "wind down" for the day. It was a wonderful way to introduce her to the sounds of classical music, which she loves! She now has a baby brother who is being introduced to them now too. I highly recommend these videos!

The 3 disc DVD set was purchased for my 2-year old daughter for Christmas. We have since watched all three discs well over 20 times. While the 25-minute running time is a little short for our tastes, it's well worth it. A beautiful combination of classical music and famous artwork combined with child-friendly animations makes these shows captivating for both the young and old. Adults will love the soft music and the famous artwork, while the child marvels at the infant conductor and the cartoons "playing" in the pieces being portrayed. A wonderful option on the DVDs are "Pop Ups" that show you what the titles are of the pieces being played and the artwork being shown. A helpful tool for older children and adults that wish to further their own art education.
