Classics for Kids on Classical 89

Classics for Kids®  introduces elementary and middle school children to classical music in a fun and entertaining way. Hosted by Naomi Lewin,the program focuses on one composer a month, with each week’s program highlighting a different aspect of that composer’s life or work. Ms. Lewin uses music that is accessible to young people to tell the composer’s story, illustrate a musical concept, and pique a child’s interest.

In addition, the following is a link to the Classics for Kids® website, including multimedia games, an interactive musical dictionary, composer biographies, an archive of all radio programs, and audio files of favorite classical music. Parent resources are also available on the site including hints on how to help a child practice, and information about music books, videos, and games. There’s also a component which helps educators integrate classical music into their daily curriculum and further their educational goals. Several sets of lesson plans can be downloaded from the program’s website. Each is built around a classical music composer and a featured piece of music.
