Most of the parents in this forum uses almost many kind of learning products to teach there kids  like Glenn doman flash cards and cd-rom, rightbrainkids tweedle wink and wink dvd's , wink to learn chinese language dvd's, magic memory,Your baby can read books and dvd's and offcouse Little Reader. I want to ask how do you schedule each one of them.I mean there are many parents using Little Reader,YBCR,and Tweedle wink.How to use all of them.And get best result out of it.
And some of the product parents guide says that to use that product daily to get best result than how do you schedule ???Because almost all product says the same ie to use it daily????So is it really possible for all parents to use all product daily????If yes than how do you guys manage your schedule????If no than lets discuss it how to manage?????
Please share your views regarding this.

Sapna, I have posted this elsewhere, but this is what we do every day. Let me know if you have any questions.

Every day Gabriel watches one or two YBCR videos (he only has to watch one now b/c he is on the review DVD. It is recommended that your baby watches them twice per day up until then). We also have the YBCR books, word cards and sliding word cards, so we do those throughout the day too.

We also play 5 categories of Little Reader and one set of dots from Little Math 3 times a day.

I also do the encyclopedic knowledge program along the Doman lines. We do those flash cards 3 times a day.

Before bed we watch 1/2 of a baby signing time or signing time DVD. We used to watch Tweedlewink, but Gabriel was having problems communicating so I wanted him to watch the signing videos instead. We will go back to Tweedlewink sooner or later.

We also play classical magic almost every day and we read books throughout the day.

All of these sessions are short, so there is a lot of playing time in between. We spread everything out throughout the day. Some days we are not able to fit everything in, so encyclopedic knowledge and classical magic are the lessons that we forgo. But normally, we can fit everything in, provided Gabriel is receptive.

It's always best for me to schedule learning times around life, not life around learning times. So we do Bit cards during bath, other cards during breakfast and lunch. Timothy can watch YBCR while I shower. We do Little Reader and Little Math right after I check my email, etc. That helps us remember everything!

And we don't get to it all everyday, but that's doesn't bother me a bit!

There are two books with different periods and composers from those periods. They have information on the periods and the composers, along with snippets from one or more of their pieces. The first song will be the actual music, and the second song will be the music + lyrics. The lyrics are catchy and include the composers name so you will remember who wrote it when you hear it again. Here is what they recommend http://www.classicalmagic.net/TheBasics.html I normally read what info it has and then play one or two pieces a day. I play the same pieces again the next day. I think you can do it however you want.
I like it, and so does Gabriel. I have learned to recognize several pieces just from listening to them.

And their site has a lot of info on the program http://www.classicalmagic.net/

Hi,

Sorry if this is out of topic.  blush
What are the classical magic products must haves?
There seems so many, but what do you think is necessary?
Where is the best to order these products?

There are 2 books with CDs included. That's all I have. I really don't know what other products they have.

For Classical Magic I have: Themes To Remember - Volume 1, Themes To Remember - Volume 2, and Classical Karaoke for Kids with CD. I also have Portraits of the Music Masters which is a small book with pictures of the composers and short stories great for reading on the go or keeping in a different room for story time.

This is the site I bought them from:
http://www.bookch.com/music.htm

They have a 6 year schedule that gives the themes in ascending order of difficulty.  What I have done is put the songs on my ipod in the recommended order. Then I play a song for a week and then either daily (or at least once a week) we listen to all of the songs we have learned up to that point. Here is the schedule. http://classicalmagic.net/6YearSchedule.html

Will you all wait to start the 6 year schedule when they are in kindergarden or would you start it now.  My baby is 13 months.

Karma to everyone!!!! smile

I was looking for some good classical CD's to introduce. I'm completely musically stupid so when I saw the post for the Classical Magic I knew that was something that I should try. I just bought the Themes to Remember Volumes 1 & 2, New World, and Classical Karaoke at Amazon who offered free shipping. Also I got Beethoven's Wig 1, 2, & 3, which is another classical music production designed to introduce music in a funny way.

http://www.amazon.com/Classical-Karaoke-Kids-Marjorie-Persons/dp/0967599725/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240101713&sr=8-1

Beethoven's Wig
http://www.amazon.com/Beethovens-Wig-Many-Sing-Along-Symphonies/dp/B000F1IPPQ/ref=pd_sim_b_4

I love that the Classical Magic website has a six-year schedule. I think that we will begin immediately and reintroduce when the boys are older as needed. smile

Oh I am loving that classical magic site. I always wondered how to introduce classical music and the actual composition names.

Yeah, I didn't even know that they had products out there that had lyrics to classical music. I liked the sample songs that they had on their website and love that the songs often include things about th music being listened to and includes the name of the composer. I'm going to have to let my sister who is a music nut know about this when I get the books and CDs in the mail! smile
