music cd's to expose children to variety of music

[esam]

hi
i am going to start homeschooling my daughter in kindergarten this summer / fall.

i am looking everywhere for cd's that i can use to expose her to various types of music from around the world. is there any such set suitable for this purpose? i don't want to buy a cd for every type of music because that could be expensive!!

anyone have any ideas?

thanks i appreciate the help - i can't find what i want online yet....

Esam,
Wal-mart has what is called KIDS BOP ... which is a cd for kids.
My dd, has bought them for her daughter, who is 4 yrs old.
I believe its children that are singing them, the songs that is. I know both my daughters love those.
Also they have those machine thingys now that you can test the music cds on before buying them, too. So you could ck it out that way without purchasing it.
Hope this helps ?? ....

Thats cute... your the first one that I have seen with the way your name is spelt same as my Erika...

seeee yaaaaa....

CDs by Ella Jenkins are a very good choice if you are looking for multicultural music. Also 10 Songs for 10 Years by Making the World a Better Place for Children is a good choice. If you are looking for a new twist on old favorites Orchestral Sgt. Pepper's by the Royal Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra is a favorite in my center. Any classical music id great. We use The Best of the Millenium - 40 Top Classical Hits. Kenny Loggins CDs are also a big hit. Hope this helps.

Look at a book store that has a music section. I had to buy a cd for a music class I took and it had a little bit of everything on it and would probably be more of what you are looking for that say Kid Bop which is just pop music sung by kids. The cd I used had music from different countries as well as classical music and big band music.
