Juno Jr. DVD & CD Review and Giveaway

Giveaway is Closed.

To celebrate Spoiled...but Not Rotten's first birthday, we have an awesome giveaway that is being sponsored by The Juno Company. The Juno Company's new Juno Jr. line, aimed at preschool-aged children, expands on the Emmy Award-winning Juno Baby line with beautiful, original orchestral music, rich story lines, and a deep emphasis on music education and appreciation. The Juno Company was founded by Belinda Takahashi, award-winning composer and mom, to create and share original, beautiful, thoughtful, and inspirational music for developing minds.

The Juno Company sent me 3 different products to review:

One Bunny Band DVD

After Bunny's "serenade stand" doesn't live up to her expectations, Indie hires her to be his own, personal "One Bunny Band." Indie gets more than he bargains for as Bunny misses the music mark time and time again. But in the end, Bunny and her friends learn how to put feelings into their music through concepts such as tempo, dynamics and articulation.

The Day the Music Stopped DVD

When Bunny presses the big red button on Murphy's Shush Machine, she inadvertently silences the town of Harmonia Springs. Juno realizes that, in order to bring life back to the town, she and her friends have to create their own music through melody, harmony, rhythm and - most of all - friendship.

Welcome to Harmonia Springs CD

Super Duper Deluxe Edition

The Juno Jr. Super Duper Deluxe Edition features both instrumental and sing-along tracks from the Juno Jr. series, including the DVDs, "One Bunny Band," "The Day the Music Stopped," and "Friends Make a Symphony." All titles are performed live by the Juno Jr. Orchestra, and composed by Belinda Takahashi, Ph. D.

My Thoughts

The Juno Jr. DVD and CD were both a huge hit with my children. I did have doubts that the DVDs would hold my two-year old's attention, but she actually watched the entire DVD in one sitting!  Each DVD immediately captivated both her and my four-year old and they quickly fell in love with Juno and her friends! I have previously given rave reviews of the Juno Baby line and these new Juno Jr. products are just as wonderful. The entire line of Juno DVDs are put together beautifully. The characters are vibrant and entertaining and the orchestral music is wonderfully composed. Each DVD features an original score recorded by a live orchestra, not the synthesized music you often find in kids programs on the market today. Not only does the Juno Jr. DVDs teach musical awareness, but they also do a great job at addressing childhood fears, the importance of friendship, and trying new things.  I also loved the fact that musical instruments were integrated into the landscape throughout the DVDs. My children and I actually made a game out of finding them! Each DVD can be played in English, Spanish or French and includes interactive language flash cards.

Both of my children love music and this CD is no exception. The opening song on the CD is Juno's Theme song and immediately draws you in. The instrumental songs not only entertained my children, but myself as well. The entire CD is well mastered and makes for an enjoyable listening experience. This CD is a great supplement to the DVDs and perfect for listening at home or in the car.

I was also impressed to learn of The Juno Company's One for All program. For every Juno product purchased, The Juno Company donates a very special music education DVD to a child in need. How awesome is that!?!
