## What is Children's Classics.?

With adorable animals, playing the greatest musical creations (Swan lake, Nutcracker, Lullaby...), "ZOOLA children's Classics" will not only introduce your child to classical music, it will make your child fall in love with it.

"Zoola – Children’s Classics is most definitely the best children’s app you’ll ever see that includes a hippo playing The Cat from Peter & the Wolf on a clarinet." 
>> http://www.appsplayground.com 


Even adults can't stay indifferent to the cute dog playing "Mozart piano sonata" on the piano, the funny hippo playing "Peter and the wolf" on the clarinet, the fluffy squirrel playing "Swan Lake" on the flute, and many more talented friends.

"ZOOLA children's Classics" will teach your child the basic information about the musical instruments of the orchestra. How they look, how they sound, what they made of and how you play them.

"ZOOLA children's Classics" will also introduce your child to interesting information about the great composers. Did you know that Beethoven composed his best music after he became deaf? Did you know that No one really knew much about Bach until 100 years after he died? 

In this app you will find a basic biography of the greatest composers life, where they came from, how they grew up and what are their most famous pieces. 


The Effect of Classical Music on Children
-----------------------------------
It is commonly agreed that classic music has a profound effect on mood, spatial intelligence, memory and language. Listening to music can even have positive effects on health. The impact of music on everyday life cannot be argued. Music manipulates moods, enriches story lines and envelops minds. This impact occurs on both babies and adults.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-06-30*

I have an iPhone 13. I cannot hear any sound while I am in the app. And, as I cannot figure out how to get in touch with a customer service agent, I may just ask my credit card company to withhold my payment.

### 1/5 — Children’s classics

*2020-10-19, version 3.8*

Quit working, will not play any music. And there is no way to contact anyone. Horrible app.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2015-03-03, version 3.4*

I thought the concept was great but the app itself is awful. At least one of the audio examples does not even match the instrument being shown. After that, I gave up. Lack of detail and respect for classical music. Horrible tone quality on some of the audio examples. I could go on and on about how to improve this app but I have better things to do with my time. Don't waste your time and money.

### 2/5 — auto-narrator would make it a great app

*2012-11-04, version 1.2*

I thought the animals playing the instruments were obnoxious, but my 3.75 year old loves it - and since she's the intended audience, I guess it works. The big problem with this app is the lack of any kind of voice-over. Since the app seems to be geared towards the pre-readers, much of its usefulness is lost on the younger set.

### 5/5 — Great for kids

*2012-10-27, version 1.1*

I downloaded this app for my child and he loved it. The music and the pictures were nice, and I can see why any young kid would enjoy this app. If you have a child I would suggest you give it a buy

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-10-27, version 1.1*

I downloaded this app when my girlfriends cousin was in town so I could keep her occupied. She loved the songs and the pictures. I suggest this app for any parent or baby sitter kids love it

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-10-20, version 1.1*

This app is really nice. Its great to soothe younger kids and also it fun for toddlers to see the animals playing musical instruments.

### 5/5 — GREAT FOR KIDS!!

*2012-10-15, version 1.1*

I absolutely love this app for my 4 year old niece. It keeps her busy and it's very user friendly. She loves all of the adorable animals. I highly recommend this app to anyone with children or a young one in the family :)

### 5/5 — A great resource for today's kids!

*2012-10-10, version 1.0*

My children love this app.  They giggle with every animal animation (and parents never get tired of their child's giggle). But what I love, as a parent, is that my kids can really learn about both the instruments and the composers while having fun!

### 5/5 — Amazing for children

*2012-10-10, version 1.0*

This application is amazing for children. I work in a school and all of my kids love this app! Keep up the great work
