- Johann Strauss Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka Op. 214. Great for skipping around to and so good for imaginative movement. I use this one a lot as the kids really love it, especially when they are pretending to be little mice running around in the Clocks And Mice lesson plan!
- Johann Strauss Radetzky March Op 228. An obvious choice for marching, banging on drums and pretending to be a soldier! Unsurprisingly, this one is hugely popular – I use it my Soldiers Lesson Plan.
- Tchaikovsky The Nutcracker Suite Op.79a. Who wouldn’t want to be a sugar plum fairy or march like a tin soldier!? This one offers great variety- so it’s just limited to Christmas but your children might already recognise it if they like the film Elf!
- Camille Saint-Saens Carnival of the Animals. Click here for the music. This is perfect for imaginative movement for slightly older (primary school age) children.
- Camille Saint-Saëns – Carnival of the Animals. Camille Saint-Saëns’ ‘grand zoological fantasy’ is beautiful, funny, and clever all at once. ‘The Swan’, perhaps the best known movement, is scored for two pianos and a cello solo.
- Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky – The Nutcracker. From the elegant ‘Waltz of the Flowers’ to the magical ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’, the score of Tchaikovsky’s enchanting ballet is a feast of wonderful melodies.
- Sergei Prokofiev – Peter and the Wolf. If it’s famous names you’re after, Prokofiev’s symphonic fairytale for children has been narrated by some of the best in the business.
- Ludwig van Beethoven – Für Elise. Beethoven’s Bagatelle No.25 in A minor is rarely referred to in such grandiose terms. Instead, most classical music lovers know and refer to it simply by its nickname, ‘Für Elise’.
- Samuel Barber: Violin Concerto. If you’re grappling with the literary boom that brought us what became known as the ‘Great American Novel’, you’ll need a suitably Yank-inclined soundtrack to aid your reading.
- Joseph Haydn: Symphonies. Reading the classics? Need to feel the perfect mix of stately propriety and cheekiness to go with your subtly subversive comment on high society?
- Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 7 (second movement) Taking in the complex and circulatory narratives of a classic crime thriller needs a contemplative soundtrack as you survey all the angles and try to work out whodunnit.
- Howard Shore: The Lord Of The Rings. Absolute top tip: when you’re reading fantasy fiction – whether it’s George RR Martin or Ursula Le Guin – movie music can be distracting.

- Flight of the Bumblebee. The Flight of the Bumblebee is a fun composition by Rimsky-Korsakov. Originally an orchestral interlude that closes the third act of the opera “El cuento Del Zar Saltán”, which bases its argument on a text by Alexandr Pushkin.
- The Typewriter. Here we have the fabulous Typewriter by the American composer Leroy Anderson, great for typing with children on any surface or any imaginary machine.
- Funny Cats’ Duet. This amusing work by Rossini, “Funny Cats’ Duet”, is undoubtedly a sign of the author’s great sense of humor. It seems that Rossini, known especially for his operas, was a little tired of hearing how the great divas of the time modified at their whim to show off or simply forgot, the texts of the arias.
- Don Quixote and the sheep. Strauss’s “Don Quixote” has been said to have gone beyond all his contemporaries in the art of allowing the listener to see through the ear.
