Hi Momtobaby
I think we are at a very similar place! Sorry, I probably should have put a bit more detail in my original post. We do have the Classical baby 3-pack and I also really strongly recommend it. My DD and I both love it. The music and the animations are really lovely.
We also work on the brillkids basic music lesson and musical instruments. We started using them a few weeks ago. She loves these so much and always asks for "music" as soon as I turn on the computer. She's started singing along to some of these and I've noticed that she is more and more in tune recently when singing other songs (e.g. twinkle twinkle little star - I got up this morning and could hear her singing to herself in her bedroom this morning - so cute!) So we cannot wait until Little Musician comes out.... (we are hoping soon please please please
)
We have the Trebellina DVD as well which is great.
I will have a look at Mozart for accelerated learning - sounds interesting! And I love the sound of the Tune Toddlers - it's just is is so expensive @ $30 for one CD
I did try listening to background classical radio but found that we both tended to just tune it out as just that - background. I was never sure if that was all that helpful or not. I'd really like to play a few classical pieces to help us both to get to know the structure of the music and improve our listening abilities. We have music time in the car when going from place to place. So any advice on some easy 'starter' composers and pieces by anyone who is knowledgeable about classical music would be great.
Like you, our future plans are also Suzuki classes or maybe PW / SM too. But I'd like to focus on developing her ear and rhythm first, before she needs to worry about coordination of an instrument as well.
