SAor Painters The Classics For Tots (NAPSA)—A growing number of young children are getting an early appreciation of the beauty of classical music, art and dance thanks to three DVDs that bring these worlds to life through stunning animation. Parent and child can be brought together through a magical blend of classical music, art and dance. The DVDs from HBO Video, “Classical Baby: The Art Show,” “Classical Baby: The Music Show” and “Classical Baby: The Dance Show,” each feature a 30-minute animatedfine arts program led by a baby maestro and an all-animal orchestra presenting the best from renowned composers, choreographers and painters. Says child psychiatrist Eugene Beresin, M.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, “Sharing creative and loving experiences can help build what child development experts call a ‘secure attachment’ between parents and their children. Classical Baby is a wonderful way to bring parents and children closer through the process oflis- tening, playing and learning together.” Unlike other videos for young children, “Classical Baby” was also created to appeal to parents. The program provides a viewing experience that’s entertaining and interactive. Each DVD includes extra features such as a Parent’s Guide, which includes activities for parent and child, information on developmental milestones and nutrition, and on-screen informa- tion on the artists and musical pieces.
