Classical Music Video Helps To Learn History Of Music
By Sylvia Adolvana
When your child asks to watch TV, it’s probably a safe
bet that a classical music video is not first on the
list of choices. Classical music videos, however, can
be an excellent way for your child to learn about classical
music and classical music composers.
Since young children are visual learners, using videos
can be a better choice than simply playing classical
CDs. Introducing your child to classical music through
video can be a way to sneak in some learning while your
child watches TV.
Very young children - toddlers and preschoolers - can
begin to learn about classical music and classical music
composers while enjoying a little TV time.
Teaching Music To The Very Young
It is never too early to begin teaching your children
about classical music. Toddlers usually enjoy music
in general, and since they are still forming their musical
tastes, young children are open to all kinds of
music.
The "Baby Einstein" children’s products and
toys offers award-winning selections, and they offer
well-made classical music video line to encourage a
love of music and learning about classical music.
Trustworthy Selection Of Music Videos
These products are perfect for babies and young children,
pairing important composers of classical music with
colorful visual imagery to capture attention and encourage
learning and development. "Baby Einstein"
offers a good selection of classical music videos with
a brand name parents can trust.
While children may not be able to match a composer
to his composition at this tender age, they will begin
to recognize the music and have their favorites. Reinforcing
what they hear by playing classical CDs in the car or
the home will further their learning and
recognition.
Animation With Music
For children who are too old for the Baby Einstein
series, there are still classical music videos that
can be used to help them learn about classical music
and classical music composers.
One of the most popular videos is Disney’s "Little
Einstein’s." This animated show uses classical
music to move the story along. Children are introduced
to composers and their compositions by name. In addition,
they learn about different compositional aspects of
the music itself such as learning that "pianissimo"
means to play very softly.
Relax With Classical Music Videos
The characters in the video actually engage the child,
asking for help to power Rocket, who plays classical
music as he moves. Before long, you will pop a classical
CD into your CD player and your child will say "That’s
Little Einstein’s!" Over time, children will begin
to identify individual pieces.
Introducing your child to a classical music video can
change the way your child thinks about classical music.
These videos are beneficial for relaxation and for providing
an experience with different types of music that young
children today may not be exposed to.
Keep in mind that resistance at forced learning never
works well, so if you choose to introduce learning of
this type, purchase classical music videos when your
child is not around and slip them into the video machine
once you arrive home, offering a treat.

More Classical Music Facts....
Was classical music only for the higher classes, or
has it ever been a music for common people?
Traditionally, classical music
has been associated with higher classes. However, at
certain times in its development, classical music has
been the popular music of the day. Nonetheless, classical
music is probably more a higher-class musical tradition,
partly defined by its distinction from popular and folk
music, or the music of the masses, if you will.
Classical music, perhaps in part
due to this class-sensitive character, has waned in
prominence. Simply put, because the masses are not familiar
with classical music, it is not as popular as it was
in yesteryear.
Today, if music sales are a trustworthy
sign of popularity, classical music is certainly struggling,
as it sustains only three to four percent of overall
CD sales.
