Hey, Hey, are you ready to Play to the Music with the Tweenies? An amazing 50 per cent of pre-school children in the UK watch the loveable characters on TV, and this new package picks out the element they love the best: singing action songs. When the Tweenie clock stops on "Dance Time", Bella (as usual!) takes the lead, and youngsters can either help Fizz copy Bella's moves, or they can boogie along, copying the steps on the dance mat (included, with a microphone). In the "Music Garden", you must help Judy and Jake grow a song bush, whereas in the "Tunearoonie Maze" your task is to guide the Tweenies around a maze and collect musical notes. But beware of the dinosaurs, or you could be singing the blues sooner than you think. Meet the "Tweenie Band", find out what instruments they like by trial and error and then sing along with the tunes they play. These somewhat prescriptive activities are fantastic for the target age group: they improve colour recognition, musical awareness and singing ability, basic mouse and PC skills, as well as artistic awareness, concentration, hand-to-eye coordination and finer motor skills. But the real fun comes in the more open activities, where children can plug in the microphone and sing along with the Tweenies. The special video clips included are taken from the live, sell-out shows of early 2001, TV programmes and the Tweenies' unforgettable appearance on Top of the Pops. Karaoke wannabes can even record their voice and become a real Tweenie pop star themselves. If this all sounds a bit raucous, concentrate on the educational value: BBC production values mean this is fun, entertaining and wonderfully designed, but it also stays true to the underlying developmental slant of the TV show. Following the success of the Tweenies: Ready to Play (which sold around 330,000 copies and topped the UK software retail charts for 35 out of 54 weeks after launch) this package is simply fantastic, but if you still need convincing, just remember: millions of three-year-olds can't be wrong! --Lucie Naylor

The living blues drumming legend, Dave Russell, the drummer for decades for such names as Buddy Guy, Son Seals, the author of drumbeats on countless CD-tracks talks from his garage setup. It is not some glorified boisterous video but it is unhurried one. Dave opens his old practicing drum set and teaches that your music is in you. It is in your touch, rhythms, discipline and he demonstrates that even modest kit sounds in the right hands. Dave's warm, charming personality and his sincere passion for music permeates this course. He cares about the students and shares vision and passion with this generous 4 DVDs course program. Neither he rushes you nor does he want to be rushed as he breaks it into parts and slow it down. There are plenty of opportunities to pay attention to his teaching as much as to his performances. Dave insists you should remember of vocals; keep an eye on lousy bass player and overall musical image. He teaches not only how to do but also of what not to do and it is a mark of real master. While the focus of this compilation is on blues drumming it definitely will be of use for drummer of any style as it touches things from blues to jazz to rock to country western. Dave never talks down and he communicates like you are an old friend and student as he goes into basics, shows the real juicy bits and explores art of drumming. There is much to share: the years on the stage, the familiarity with industry, the outstanding musicianship. He doesn't try to overwhelm and sincerely cares to teach you whatever he knows. There are many DVDs on drumming out there but it is only one, which takes you into real world of professional musician, shows the goals and caveats. He even refused lavish studio setup and insisted that the sound on the video has to be like something the real beginner musician could achive. There is a taste of this immeasurable fun of being inside the big musicians' world that almost never happens to most of us.

Adiboo The Mysterious Music Machine imaginatively introduces children aged 4-7 years to musical instruments and sounds.Adiboo and his pals arrive in a strange world and are surprised to discover a bee that doesn't buzz but sounds like a horn. After a short boat trip they find a bird that imitates a helicopter and a leaf that explodes. They have arrived in the land of the mysterious music machine. In a conversation with Adiboo, the sad music machine admits he's feeling miserable because he has lost his sounds, the unusually named zicabongs, and as a result all the inhabitants of the land have started to make strange noises.
The aim of the game is to help Adiboo bring back all the zicabongs to the music machine so he can play his tune again and restore the proper sounds to the land around him. Children are encouraged to find their way around the colourful and imaginative land and carry out various tasks before they can successfully retrieve the zicabongs. In one of the challenges, you have to drag a singing shell through a set of pipes that play different noises; and in another you have to assemble an animal band who play different instruments.
Games can be set at different levels and there is a booklet to guide you. Children will learn how to put low and high sounds in the right order; how to distinguish between rising and falling sounds and they are encouraged to detect the tones of instruments which are being played at the same time.
This is a fun, highly imaginative title but it will probably need a bit of initial supervision from parents as children become familiar with all the different zicabongs. --Justin Hunt
