I hope that all of you have been able to access the music tracks in the Back to Bach website.  I alerted our programmer to the problem of access to the music tracks.
 
He has added the following information to the website:
"This website uses FLASH extensively. Click here for the lateste verson of FLASH Player."

I hope this will solve  your problems with hearing the music in Level One. Remember that Level One is free. You won't be able to hear sound for levels 2 - 9 unless you subscribe to  www.back-to-bach.com

Hi fabangel,

If you've accessed the website   www.back-to-bach.com   the sound buttons should bring up the music with lyrics and the music only. I haven't heard from anyone else who has had trouble with the sound.

Do you have any trouble getting sound on other websites?

Has anyone else checked out the sound on Back to Bach?

I participated in Brill Kids with Classical Magic Themes To Remember Books for many years. Sing 'n Learn still carries the printed products. However, even though I prefer books, we've seen the need to adapt to a new format with interactive internet. The website address is www.back-to-bach.com. There are nine levels.The first level is free to everyone. Please check it out. The illustrations are now vibrantly colored.

Thanks, Chris, those tips are very interesting!

I remember my mum used to play her classical music CDs for us whenever we were studying for tests at school and I think it did help us focus on what we were reading -- not to mention, I eventually did the same thing when I needed to concentrate on work! 

I also believe that it is possible to "pass on" your love of music to your kids, even if you can't play an instrument or carry a tune. My mum was able to do it, so I think I can manage to do the same too!

 
  Check out   http://www.classicalmusicmagic.com/MusicandBrain.html  - There are many ideas about educating children via classical music as well as a bibliography of resources that are very helpful. Your mum had the right idea.  Cheers, Marjorie

  Yes to both - a birthright and education for everyone. Music is all around us and some is harmful. We need to be sure that our chidlren are exposed to the best classical music. It wires their brains for the rest of their education. Most scientists in Silicon Valley are practising musicians.  www.classicalmusicmagic.com    Music and the Brain
