Lovely to hear that Missy is taking an interest too. We also use classical music for calming in the car and bedtime. Oldest has a radio alarm and he puts classic FM on at lights out to help him sleep. Works a treat. We joke that he will taking in all sorts of high brow info that one day we can use on Mastermind. <br /><br />Thanks for joining in with #WASOAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561624089930362726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210101461143370674.post-25773672956536426582014-05-19T00:32:38.406+01:002014-05-19T00:32:38.406+01:00Yes, both on our little one's playlist...

Just tonight we were discoing (it was to Rush and Lynyrd Skynyrd, but that's close enough) around the dining room before I took our little fella up for his bath.<br /><br />Despite being an ageing rocker at heart I do love a whole variety of classical music too. Our little one has a bedtime playlist for going to sleep which features a number of lovely soothing classical pieces. Here are a few of the faves... all lovely pieces of music in their own right.<br /><br />Barber's Adagio for Strings<br />http://youtu.be/lV3SHBFyDZM<br /><br />Holst's St Paul's Suite (the final movement is a bit more go-ey but totally sublime - wait til Greensleeves kicks in. Possibly my fave moment in music ever)<br />http://youtu.be/fpbg9LOgXCY<br /><br />Warlock's Capriol Suite<br />http://youtu.be/rgiBzN_avHk<br /><br />Elgar's Serenade for Strings<br />http://youtu.be/U7OepiN7zgY<br /><br />Have a listen and hope you enjoy them as much as I do! Let me know what you think.<br />AdoptionJourneyBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08595687208169295883noreply@blogger.com
