THE BASICS (Theme Recognition) |

Classical music
I say, "Keep it light."
Have fun, sing along,
Karaoke tonight.
Just pick up the mike,
Sing out and pretend
You're star of the show
Impressing your friends.

Theme recognition sets the foundation for
listening with pleasure and intelligence to complete orchestrated works.
All you need to begin is:
Themes To Remember, Volume 1 and a CD player.

Suggested Order of Learning for Beginners |

with children, on which themes they find easiest and are their favorites.
The CD track listed is for the music-with-lyrics track.
