Classic Kids

Chances are, your kids have already heard a lot of Bach, Brahms and Beethoven...

of course, they were watching Bugs, Daffy and Elmer Fudd at the time.





If your kids like classic cartoons, Disney movies or the films of Steven Spielberg, they've already heard some of the greatest classical music ever written. Now they can hear the favorite "loony toons" and movie themes on CLASSIC99's Classic Kids®, every Saturday morning at 10am. Hosted by Jim Althoff.

Classic Kids®

Q.: How do you make your kids smarter?
A.: Classical music.

How do you get kids into classical music? Exposure. Have them listen to the kids' stories and music on Classic Kids®, Saturdays at 10 am.

Classic Kids® is a special progam for kids of all ages, hosted by Jim Althoff. Classic Kids® mixes music and stories in a way that kids get familiar with classical pieces of music while following the story. The music is described by Jim in a non-technical way, with no "cutesy" helper characters - the focus is on the music itself.

A tip for parents - The program is always accessible, interesting, entertaining, non- threatening and engaging - it's for kids of all ages, including mom and dad.
