This fantastic show is aimed at the under 5s but was probably the nicest 45 minutes I can remember having for years and I'm 50. Clea (cello) and Louise (violin), the two superb presenters and musicians were thoroughly engaging and the young children were captivated throughout, as indeed were the adults. The programme included Debussy, Bach, Smetana, Scottish folk songs and original African-influenced compositions as they took the children on a global musical adventure. They didn't patronise their audience with Classic FM hits or talk down to them and the children listened and interacted accordingly. I can't think of a better advert for introducing classical music to children and they entirely disprove the myth that classical music is a bit too tricky for young people to handle. They should have their own CBeebies show. Brilliant.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. My 1 year old didn't look away from the musicians at all. A lovely mix of music and explanation and storytelling.

Thank you
