Classics For Kids

Fun great but talk to much.

This show is rubbish- but znyk v, you little twit, maybe your kids had there brain cells put in the public school blender huh,?

I learned about Classics for Kids when it played on a classical radio station, and I was thrilled to see an archive of the episodes available for listening any time. I’ve been listening to the podcast with my niece in elementary school, and she really enjoys it, as do I. The host is engaging and does a great job weaving a cohesive narrative within each episode, as well as implementing plenty of samples of the music she’s discussing. I feel that the length of each episode is perfect for the attention spans of most kids, but still manages to pack in a lot of information. I really like that a well-rounded variety of classical artists are talked about and their work highlighted, not just household names like Mozart and Beethoven. Plus, the podcast does a good job leaving out unsavory stuff, so it’s a safe listen for the whole family. Classics for Kids does a great service in introducing young folks to the culture, history, and of course the music of the classical genre. I love being able to help my niece see that there’s so much more to music than pop, and we cherish the time we spend listening to this podcast together.

We love this podcast! What a blessing for our homeschool to learn about composers, and for free! It’s well put together and just the right amount of info for our kids, who span from elementary to high school. Everybody can pick up something from the episodes: it’s not too dumbed down for the older ones or too complex for the younger kids. Thank you so much for this resource!!
