 Notes:

Not all sites are totally “child-safe” so parent supervision is recommended when online.

musical-expressions.com/classical_music.htm  is a nice listening site for Peter and the Wolf and Peer Gynt Suite,  but the composer is listed incorrectly for Peter and the Wolf.  I sent an email to the webmaster so they have been notified of the error.
