Classics For Kids
Classics for Kids is here to help you learn about classical music and have fun too!
90.9 WGUC, Cincinnati’s classical music radio station, created Classics for Kids® as an entertaining, informative introduction to classical music for elementary school children. The six-minute radio program, also available as a podcast, explains classical music, composers, and terminology in easy-to-understand language that’s designed to appeal to audiences of all ages. The interactive multimedia website classicsforkids.com is a fun, engaging tool for teachers, parents, and kids. It’s full of information about music, including composer biographies, a dictionary of terms, guides to instruments from around the world, games, archives of all the Classics for Kids® podcasts, and much, much more.
The website also provides free, user-friendly materials to integrate music education into the curriculum. In addition to lesson plans, there are pages to explore rhythm, history, composition, and other aspects of music. All of that makes classicsforkids.com a valuable resource for classroom teachers and homeschoolers.
Parents and grandparents find Classics for Kids® an ideal way to share their love of classical music with kids and grandkids. It’s a beautiful way for multiple generations to experience the joy of music together.
Studies have shown that classical music can help children concentrate and think creatively. You can help your child – or your classroom – unlock the power of music with the Classics for Kids® podcast and the wide variety of activities on the classicsforkids.com website. Together, they provide extraordinary resources for learning about the lives and music of great composers, the evolution of classical music through the centuries, and some of the fundamentals of music theory, leading to a deeper appreciation of the art form.
