Music reviews of Shakespeare for Children
Music Review: Great intro to the Bard
Rating: 5 Stars
Sigh. The hyper-competitive parenting in the US makes me dread our move there next year. In Lake Wobegon the children are all above average, but the children of Amazon reviewers are all geniuses. So, of course the 3 year old is way beyond mere childish stories- no, the little darling is ready for Shakespeare. And if little darling doesn't get it, it is clearly the fault of the storyteller.
Why not let them wait a bit for something? let them get enough experience of the world to enjoy it?
Weiss's CD is a great way to meet the Bard- especially for somebody over 8 or so. The stories are accessible and simplified but not simplistic. The voices are clear and consistent, so that each character becomes recognizable. Our girls have listened to this over and over again. They have read the simplified versions of the plays. And this summer we will take them to their first Shakespeare play. It has been a lovely, gradual introduction, that has built a base of familiarity and enjoyment that should be able to withstand even secondary school Shakespeare class!
