LISTENING ON-LINE (EARLY YEARS) NB: First-time users - please read the introduction before using this page. INTRODUCTION This site offers a small selection of listening opportunites from the main LMPi Thematic Listening Links (see sample page ) which in turn has been designed to save hours of searching the internet and music shops for listening linked to themes - for teachers and parents. The links below are mentioned in the Early Years Music Cards - Exploring Listening which can be purchased from LMP Media Players -You will need media players to listen to files, although most below open in Quicktime. If you don't have the correct media player you will most likely be prompted to download one. Avoid paying as there are free versions, or giving personal details. If asked for your email it is best to give a spoof email or old one to avoid Spam. Other problems listening to files - this may relate to your computer rather than the media players. However, restarting your computer can occasionally overcome problems. David Wheway 2006 ANIMALS Flight of the Bumble Bee by Rimsky-Korsakov
