With the numerous financial cutbacks to schools as well as the narrow focus on achievements on the standards-based education reform dictating reading and math skills, musical studies in elementary schools is extremely limited or non-existent. What Classics for Kids provides is teaching materials, study plans and concerts that have a genuine, life-long impact on the children fortunate enough to be exposed to their programs.

After a lifetime of loving and making music, I learned that schools are providing less instruction in this widely useful subject. I think music enhances most areas of education, especially math, social development, and science which needs a creative mind. Classics 4 Kids was created specifically to fill this need. They produce kid friendly concerts and related lessons. They train teachers and docents to bring these lessons to schools and provide live concerts to give kids the ultimate music experience. Three times a year I attend their training sessions and get a list of classrooms that are attending a concert. I visit the classrooms, play the CD provided and go over the lessons that relate to the music of that concert. Kids love the music and this enhances learning and creates lifetime memories. And its great fun for me also!
