This DVD uses a combination of original music and animation to present the sounds, instruments and rhythms of orchestral music to children. The music comes from my Top Brass, Twenty Twenty, and Japanese Waltzes albums.

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.

As a bonus, my Japanese Waltzes, Twenty Twenty, and Top Brass music albums are included as ROM content on the DVD in high quality mp3 format - insert the disk in a computer and open the music folders and you can move the music files to your i-pod/mp3 player or burn them as music CDs.

Also included amongst the ROM content are eight all-new stories and eight all-new original orchestral music compostions from a recent collaborative project I carried out with the storyteller, Annette Knowler: "The Moon Princess and other stories". So that's a total of over two and a half hours of bonus stories and music. You can listen to samples in low quality format below.
