 Not worth the money April 15, 2006
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this for my 15month old who loves all of his other Baby Einstein DVD's & this lacks the ability to keep his attention. I feel that this was missed opportunity to really introduce toddlers to music! It lacks the visual colorful stimiluation that many of the other DVD's did so well. All in all I am disappointed in the presentation & content.
 Better for musical children... April 15, 2006

The people who have written negative reviews for this video must not be parents of music-loving children. My 19 month old son has been listening to Mozart and many other composers since the womb. He absolutely loves this video! Seeing the instruments that he loves to hear excites him and has him running around our house pretending to play each of the instruments. After watching "Meet the Orchestra" 4 times, he is able to name each of the instruments and even recognizes the sound of most of them when listening to CDs of other music. I am convinced that a child who is a true music lover will enjoy this video for the wonderful things it has to offer. Some of the reviewers were critical of the plastic toy instruments shown in the video. Those instruments are a wonderful way to teach a toddler about an instrument's sound, feel, and method of play. Would you really want to hand a real violin to a 2 year old? I wouldn't. Let them learn about music in an age-appropriate way and let them enjoy the process.
Where's the music? March 27, 2006

I agree with the nay-sayers on this video. This is by far the least interesting (to my toddler) of the 10 or so Baby Einstein videos we own. She just walks away when I turn this video on. Her normal response is to get up and dance to the music. But this video takes so much time playing a precious few notes on a single instrument, that there are few whole songs played anywhere!
 Boy, it's not that bad March 24, 2006

This movie is getting some pretty harsh reviews, but it's not that bad. These movies are geared for the small children, not the parents. My daughter is not quite 2 and she absolutely loves this movie. She has already picked up on the instruments and can name many of them by sight....I don't think I can ask much more from a 1 year old.
Overall, I give it two thumbs up, my daughter loves it.
My kid loves it - Isn't that what matters? March 22, 2006

It's pretty funny to read all these reviews - they sound like Joan Rivers at the Oscars.
As a guy who has worked as an egineer in the music industry since high school (and enough hours a week that I barely get to see my children!), I just don't know what people are hearing. I'm more than satisfied with the sound of the instruments in the video, and to be honest, I'm happy enough to know that such an introduction to music in general exists at all!!!!
All I know is that at the end of the day, when I come home to find my 20 month old son happily engaged in the sights and the sounds of this DVD (along with the others), I'm happy.
And like I said in the title, "if my kid loves it, isn't that what matters?"
