Description:
Adults may think it's too early to teach a baby the difference between a trumpet and a bugle, but Baby Einstein: Meet the Orchestra--First Instruments entertains children with its next music installment. Relying on its tried-and-true formula of bright colors, quick-paced format, and almost no dialogue (except to repeat names and identify groups by section: brass, woodwinds, strings, and so forth), First Instruments flashes the instrument and its name on the screen, demonstrates how it sounds, and shows animated characters, puppets, babies, youth, and grown-ups all performing on (and enjoying) it.

Adults may think it's too early to teach a baby the difference between a trumpet and a bugle, but Baby Einstein: Meet the Orchestra--First Instruments entertains children with its next music installment. Relying on its tried-and-true formula of bright colors, quick-paced format, and almost no dialogue (except to repeat names and identify groups by section: brass, woodwinds, strings, and so forth), First Instruments flashes the instrument and its name on the screen, demonstrates how it sounds, and shows animated characters, puppets, babies, youth, and grown-ups all performing on (and enjoying) it. It then combines instruments for a few classical numbers. The jazzy rendition of Beethoven's "Fur Elise" is questionable (it would be nicer to teach kids appreciation for the real thing). Bonus features include instrument flash cards, several puppet shows, a featurette teaching more about music, and additional orchestral numbers. A nice diversion for your little maestro-to-be. Ages 1 year and up.--Ellen A. Kim
From the moment babies are born, they're discovering new sights and sounds in their world. At 12 months, they can clearly identify specific sounds and musical notes, and they're also beginning to match the sounds they hear with the objects that make them. BABY EINSTEIN(TM): MEET THE ORCHESTRA -- FIRST INSTRUMENTS introduces your baby to the musical instruments found in an orchestra and the different sounds they make. Little ones will enjoy all the exciting benefits music has to offer including movement, self-expression, pattern recognition, and social interaction. Engage and entertain your child with fun puppet shows, captivating real-world images, and beautiful classical music by Beethoven, Brahms, Joplin, Haydn, Mozart, and Strauss.
