Recommend me some classical music please

[miss mopple]

as I no nowt about it

I want to use it as background music so the more relaxing the better My daughter has always had a mixed cd of it at bedtime aimed at babies (she's almost 5 and still cant sleep without it ) but other than that my knowledge of classical music is zilch, but all my mindees love music so I thought it may be good to have it playing at various times (like when I need them to calm down )

any ideas?

We regularly have the 'baby mozart' cd on to help us relax - works wonders when used alongside lavender oil playdough! Also the minuets by Bach , Brahms lullaby ..
fisher price do a lovely cd called natures lullabies , Rainforest music.

why not stick classic FM on and see what you like???

what about the Dr Who music? We play that alot here (you can buy it on CD) Some of the pieces are beautiful and very relaxing. I put the Dr Who at the Proms on DVD on for the mindees the other day - not only did they enjoy the music, they were asking loads of questions about the different instruments too

baby mozard is lovely. I've got one just called children's classics and it's done in a very child friendly way - lots of xylophones etc, lighter than big drums etc.


but I agree that the 'massage' music is probably lovely rainforest, beach, whales etc.

I was going to say the same as Kindredspirits. Try classic FM.
I like classical music and had my clock radio set to classic FM but it just used to send me back to sleep !

There is a children programme called the little einsteins (disney chanel) they involve clasical music in to good stories, my son loves it. on amazon there is a cd with lots of music on from the programme. you can listen to the cd to see if you like it. its only £3.51.
