CTR Review

Guided by Pianomouse, preschoolers are given instruction in beginning music concepts like notes and symbols, and are introduced to six instruments and four great composers. There are a lot of simple activities (twelve), and most are multilevel. These include games of concentration, matching exercises, coloring pages and more arcade-like pursuits such as catch the bouncing clef notes. All in all, children are exposed to lots of musical content in a playful manner. The program's title is a little misleading, however, as kindergarten and first grade students would enjoy the CD as well.
