The purpose of this DVD is to present the sounds, instruments and rhythms of orchestral music to preschool children, using a combination of original music and animation. The first twenty pieces focus on woodwind, brass and percussive instruments, and are performed by the "Teddy Bear Orchestra" conducted by "Theodore De Bere". Following on from this, a cartoon "Walt" brings the waltz time signature to life in a series of "Walt's Waltz Workouts", which encourage children to move in time to a 3/4 beat.

The music I have used as a basis for this DVD comes from my Top Brass, Twenty Twenty, and Japanese Waltzes albums. Tired of dumb-downed "kiddy" music? Let them experience the range of moods, from energetic to soothing, powerful to playful, that original classical music can express and inspire. These pieces have been written with young children especially in mind, to engage their musical imaginations.
