Children and classical music2 June 2004

What can classical music do for young people?

How do you get children interested in, and playing along with, classical music? Why is it too often only middle-class kids who end up in orchestras? Would it be better to let children learn about music by starting with pop or rap instead?

The dynamic Atarah Ben-Tovim, artistic director of Children's Classic Concerts, and music teacher Leonora Langley join Jenni to talk about what classical music can do for young people.

Let The Children Sing by Leonora Langley is published byThe Book Guild Ltd, ISBN 1857768728
