What Parents Need to Know
About Beethoven's Wig 4: Dance Along Symphonies
Parents need to know that there's nothing objectionable about this family-friendly introduction to some of the best-known classical music and musical standards. But the humorous lyrics aren't just for laughs. Many of the songs use lyrics to educate listeners about the history of the piece, the musical instruments used, and the background of their famed composers as well. All 12 songs are featured both with lyrics and without, so kids can get an introduction to how the music originally sounded.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how classical music has survived for hundreds of years. Have you heard any of these songs before? If so, where? On television? Maybe in commercials? Can you make up your own lyrics to go with the music? What instruments do you hear in each song? What do you think of the singers? How is the male singer's voice different from the female singer's?
