Titles of the musical pieces please
My 3 1/2-year-old son and I enjoy these Little Einstein DVDs a lot. Maybe for different reasons. I like to see how they work the art into the story, he likes to go pat,pat,pat,pat ... blast off! Also, I am learning more about music, and I think he is too, kind of indirectly. I downloaded the pieces from Instrument Fairies (Puppet March, etc.) and played them on the car stereo ... and he made the connection ... he shouted Little Einsteins! I like how they select very distinctive pieces.
In more recent Little Einsteins they have the titles of the pieces written next to the composers name. In this DVD, the characters say the names of the pieces ... and I can't understand what the character is saying for the Bizet piece - Suite L ... No. 2
Can anyone tell me the name of that piece?
The question of character stereotyping is interesting, and I am sometimes shocked by how much of that one sees in children's "educational" entertainment (especially the helpless girls) ... but I have to disagree about Quincy being the "funny musician." He plays the violin, and that really means a lot, being the most difficult musical instrument to play. If he's funny, I guess he's also really talented. I didn't realize June was Asian ... if I think about it, I guess I thought she might be Italian or Arab American.
Anyway, if anyone can help me out with the title of that Bizet piece, I'd much appreciate it!
Love those Little Einsteins!
Great videos on this dvd, my 3-year old loves it and I don't mind watching it with him over and over and over.
Great episodes
My 15 month old loves this DVD because it has two of her favorite episodes. She loves to "conduct" along with Leo. I love the clever way these tapes teach about music and problem solving.
would've given this 5 stars except for one thing...
My 2 year old loves this. She grew out of Baby Einstein and we bought her a few Little Einstein ones. She watches them all the time. We had to try to limit her DVD time everyday so that she has other things to do. But of all the DVD's this is quite educational (even for me as an adult!). The characters asked questions to viewers, guided them to imitate gestures and noises. I also like the real images in addition to cartoon images. For example, they flew over the real cities such as Venice or Seattle, and showed real animals like penguins.
My only complaint, and it's a big one, is that the kids are off tune. Annie (the blonde) is seriously off tune. It really bothers me when they sang together (that feeling is similar to someone who scratched a blackboard with fingernails). Complete dissonance in certain instances. At first I thought it was the composer of the tune, or believed it could just be my own problem and they were just singing with normal kids voice. But later confirmed with others that they were, in fact, out of tune. If they're trying to set examples for kids and teach them various things from fine arts to classical music to science, why not demonstrate by singing the tunes correctly?
Daughter loves this....
My 3 year old is a HUGE fan of the Little Einsteins. I picked up this DVD from my local library and my daughter watches it everyday. All the scenes are age appropriate for her and she loves the interaction with the chararcters. This would be a great purchase for preschoolers.
