The message of La Mūsica is that education doesn’t need to be boring. This DVD shows that you can lighten it up with songs and dance! Even though it may be difficult to learn a new language, anybody can do it, even children!
I give La Mūsica 4 out of 5 stars and I recommend it for ages 5 to 10. You can buy this DVD online.
