sitting here with the kids - my 3 & 1-1/2 yr olds are enamorated with Little Einsteins. watching the "princess bassoon" eposode Little Einsteins.

BUT, I see trumpets, strings of all kinds, flutes, drums, cymbals, trombones, clarinets, oboe, bassoons .. but I haven't seen a sax yet ??

what's up with this show ?!?! :?

clap, clap, pat, pat, clap, clap, pat, pat

Imho

Give your kids a break. Baby Einstein is about watching toys move with a musical background. A musical babysitter/soporific.

Let your kids see something real.
Let 'em get up and dance... dance with 'em.

Here are some suggestion:

Groovin' saxes

the Four Seasons

Jellicle Cats

your link to Groovin saxes was the 4 seasons ...

the two little kids do get up and dance ... especially my 1.5 yr old

The Tiptons are great. I had the pleasure of doing sound for them a few months back.

Little Einsteins are great, they introduce musical concepts such as rhythm, accellerando, diminuendo, etc. They expose kids to art. What's not to like. My wife and I enjoy watching with the kids (4 and 6), and the kids dig it too...

The BABY Einsteins videos, however,are less useful, other than something to soothe the little ones to sleep...

Yes, I guess it was Baby Einstein that I was referring to as soporific. I have no experience with Little Einsteins, except on the computer, and the site crashes my browser.

Poor Albert; what do you suppose you would have thought of such commercialization of his name?
