I would love to win! I’ve currently paid for tuition for my 4th grader, 1st grader, and part time preschooler…just a week ago, I pulled my 1st grader out mid year for homeschooling! This made paying for all of that 1st grade curriculum just a little bit harder! Although I am a certified teacher with a Master’s Degree, I am overwhelmed starting mid year with my own child! I haven’t taught since the birth of my 9 year old, and I don’t want to leave anything out…trying to do it all! Next year, I will homeschool all of my children while trying to keep a toddler out if everything! Winning this giveaway would be one less worry! I think my oldest two would really enjoy it!
I would love this….we checked this out from the library when my son was 3, and he couldn’t get enough of it. He loves it, our family loves it, and I really need to get this (either in a give away or I’ll just have to break down and purchase it) :).
We would love to win this. Story CDs are very popular in this house, and in our car.
We are just getting started with homeschooling, and my kids love music. This would be great for us!
We love their products!
I LOVE Maestro Classics. We rent them weekly from the library. My Children’s Favorites include in this order 🙂 Juanita the Spanish Lobster, Swan Lake, Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel and finally the Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Our Library system does not have Peter and the Wolf so I would so love this CD. But for your other readers also check with your library to see if they have these in stock. I request a different one each week online from my library. They are so good !! My kids not only love the story with the music but the stories are followed by the conductor doing a talking piece were he described different instruments or styles of music and then has the children listen for the sounds of the instruments or for the different styles of music. They also talk about the original composer and it is just brilliant. I just smiled one day when after hearing the Swan Lake version my daughter who is (4) turned to me and said “Brother is alot like Tchaikovsky.” and I said ” why is that?” and she said “well because Tchaikovsky was a difficult child that was especially attached to his mother and thats how brother is.” I was so proud ( of her knowledge of Tchaikovsky) and humored at how she viewed her brother all at the same time. You will love these. And I would love to win one to have for our personal use!
I would love to be able to share this music with my children, I trust your judgement and if your recommending it, it must be great 🙂 I am a subscriber by e-mail, and spend my morning quiet time reading your posts 🙂 Very helpful
this would be awesome to have…
I would love to win to help me teach my kids better!
And I am an email subscriber! 🙂
