Very interesting. You can get the book and cd without the stuffed animals a little cheaper they have two books. You can look inside on amazon.

For $100 you can get both, I agree it sounds kind of pricey. I like that you get it on cds but whose knows what is on them. Looking at the peak you get on amazon it looks like it teaches them music vocabulary.

It is next year … when is Little Music done :). I am ready to be a beta tester.

the materials are used in one of the music school here. instead of 4-6 years old, they are using these for 2 - 3 years old. the course costs around uSD300 for 15 classes but the materials , well found it and costs around USD45 for some.
i dont think i can buy the material and teach it myself, not sure.

Dear Reei,

I have not specifically used the “packaged” Music for Little Mozarts.

However, I HAVE tried the Lesson Book, Discovery Book, Workbook and CDs for Level 1 &2. I used it for my 3 year old daughter.

Lesson Book: overall good layout for a good story line to engage young children in the learning of music theory and note-reading

Discovery Book: I like the creative songs to solidify certain music theory concepts. Certain theme songs in here are also very catchy and good to review at each session.

Workbook: only good if you’re doing one on one. If you have a classroom of children, this is rather boring and hard to control as far as time it takes to finish the activity page.

CD: contains a) all of the lesson book materials narrated then demonstrated and b) all the songs in the Discovery book played by an orchestra or instrumental group.

All in all, I think it’s a good program for even a 3 year old though it says in the cover that it’s meant for 4 and 5 year olds. I only bought the Lesson book and Discovery book for the next levels as I think I can do without the Workbook and CD. If you can play the piano yourself, there’s really no need for the CD.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask any further questions.

If you’re going for note-reading proficiency, then I would recommend “We Hear and Play” by Taneda. My daughter liked it alot better for note-reading skill-building.
