Instruments of the Orchestra: A fun new way to see and hear the Instruments of the Orchestra.

Composer Timeline: Journey through time to find classical music composers and the events of the day.

Composers by Country: An interactive map to explore the composers of the world.

 

WGUC broadcasts Classics for Kids® each weekend on 90.9 WGUC and wguc.org at 10:00 a.m. Saturday and 6:00 p.m.Sunday. The program is also available for listening and downloading as a podcast at classicsforkids.com.
