I love the adventures and this show makes the music fun. It will inspire you to learn to play an instrument. It also introduces you to real people during that time period. I.man age 11.
Mom's review: I do love this series. it has been entertaining and educational for all my children ages 2-11. They recognize his music now when played elsewhere. The series also has short segments...

Mom's review: I do love this series. it has been entertaining and educational for all my children ages 2-11. They recognize his music now when played elsewhere. The series also has short segments in each episode that will engagingly explain more about an instrument that was used or musical term mentioned. Segments of Austria and important people & places during Mozart's time as well as Austria in modern day are also shown and explained. As a homeschool mom, there is a cd-rom that is included in the set that provides lesson plans based on each episode. They are well crafted and can easily be used for young and middle elementary aged students. I do have to agree with another reviewer that there are some instances of cheating and other mild infractions that are never addressed the use of words like stupid and idiot are sprinkled here and there. But all in all, I find it an entertaining way to learn about Mozart, his time, & his music.

Little Listeners Review (Nov 11, 2009)

"We have been watching the DVD series "Little Amadeus". We are learning about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. We like that the stories are funny, but they tell us real details about his life. Amadeus was an adventurous little boy and he sometimes got into trouble. We learned that the Mozart family were musicians, but that Amadeus was a musical genius. Amadeus was composing music at 8 years old!...

Amadeus was an adventurous little boy and he sometimes got into trouble. We learned that the Mozart family were musicians, but that Amadeus was a musical genius. Amadeus was composing music at 8 years old! That is amazing! We are learning about different musical instruments that he played and used in his music. It's neat to be able to listen to the radio and to hear his music playing."

I have enjoyed "listening" to the DVD's while in the car. The kids find them interesting and actually ask if they can watch them. I like that there is factual information and enjoy the original compositions that are played throughout the episodes. However, it is sometimes difficult to know what the factual details are and which ones are just making a funny story. I have not done a ton of research on the Mozart family, so when the kids ask if something really happened I can not say for sure. Guess I need to study up! Also, for those with younger viewers, the words "stupid" and "idiot" are used several times. And for parents with older children, there are some thematic elements that I had to discuss after viewing (cheating on school work with no repercussion, mild bullying) There was a villain throughout the series, who, in the end, always failed to accomplish what he wanted. I found him to be pretty harmless...creative, but harmless. All in all, this series is a great investment for a bit of Music Appreciation and Music History. The set actually includes student pages and classroom activities which were a great compliment to the DVD's. I recommend the series highly, but be prepared to know your facts...your kids just might ask you!
