Reviews
i am writing to let you know how much my kids enjoy the sesame street music maker cd-rom. i don't know any other kids who are asking for a xylophone or a sitar. in a world where so much of what we get is a quick sound byte, this game actually encourages kids to stay for a while. what a pleasant change of pace.
WOW! (and I mean that). This game is fantastic! All the Sesame Street humor,
with really wonderful music and a lot of different activities. From Ernie's
World (ala Wayne's World) where Ernie interjects funny words into songs sung by
Cookie, Grover and Elmo to their hilarious disbelief (which had my wife and I on
the floor laughing!), to Elmo's Music Machine (an endlessly replayable
sampler/mixer of music snippets that let's kids put endless combinations of
tunes together (an excellent learning tool! ), to Worldly Instruments where Elmo
and Ernie play - in any combination - everything from Sitars and banjos to
African drums and Trombones to, of things, a Hurdy Gurdy or a Theramine! As a
musician and a parent who hopes to pass on the joy of music to my son and
daughter, I could not believe our luck at finding this brilliant and wonderful
product! My hat is off to Sesame Street with my endless respect and thanks! GO
BUY THIS! WE ALL LOVE IT!
I can't say enough about how wonderful this software is. It has all of the
quality we've come to expect from Sesame Street products - clear & colorful
graphics, great sound, lots of activities, the humor and warmth of the Muppets -
and then some. There are 8 different activities, all of which are entertaining
and which keep my toddler engrossed (no mean feat, since he has the classic
two-year-old's short attention span). My personal favorite is "Ernie's
World," a Wayne's World parody in which Ernie shouts out silly words -
flounder! coldcuts! underpants! - while one of his buddies tries to sing. My son
is partial to the world of instruments segment, where you click on a musical
instrument to hear its name & how it sounds and learn fun facts about it.
(My two year now can identify such diverse instruments as a violin, a hurdy
gurdy and a pan pipe.) I am particularly impressed by how fresh the software
seems even after it's been played over and over; something about the way the
Muppets interact with each other and the input coming from the child makes it
seem as if they are right there with you, not canned or repetitive.
