Here is a restful alternative to our fast paced electronic age. This
collection of all original instrumental music features the natural sounds
of acoustic instruments such as harp, violin, viola, cello, flute, oboe,
bassoon, clarinet, acoustic guitar, classical guitar, piano, and French
horn. These beautiful serene melodies played with the soothing sounds
of a chamber orchestra will appeal to listeners of all ages in a variety
of situations. Children will become familiar with the sounds of the instruments
of the orchestra while resting during nap time. The music is also valuable
for accompanying slow stretching, and yoga. Put this recording on to
calm students in the classroom...play it for yourself in the car to relax
during evening commute...then use it for background dinner music to provide
an aura of peace and calm for the whole family.
