T'ai Chi Fundamentals

CD-Charts > Music > Instructional
starring: Tricia Yu

Release Date January 20, 2004
This DVD offers the beginner a way to understand the principles that are essential to Tai Chi practice whithout being overwhelmed. Simple practice sessions with this DVD allow the practitioner to make measurable progress in their own Tai Chi. The demonstrations with the mirrors make this by far the easiest DVD to follow that I have tried. The simple instructions in posture and breathing are enough to make this eries worth it. Consider the companion book as weill since it has some extra warm up exercises that are fun and challenging.

The Complete Pepin: Techniques and Recipes

CD-Charts > Music > Instructional
starring: Jacques Pépin

Release Date January 16, 2007
This set is good if you want to learn specific techniques, but not if you want to see recipes cooked from start to finish. The few actual cooking segments are not easy to find and you spend a lot of time going back and forth to the main menu. The set is instructional, but not entertaining. If you want to be amused and instructed, try Julia & Jacques Cooking At Home

The Essential Raps!

CD-Charts > Music > Instructional
by: Ron Clark

Release Date August 31, 2004
I bought this CD just for the "Presidents' Rap." My fifth-grade students are learning it now, and I have all the words up in my classroom. It thrills me no end to hear them muttering phrases like "In the War of 1812 James Madison led" and "Next came Old Hickory, Andrew Jackson" under their breath throughout the day! (It's a great change from the various inappropriate lyrics they are usually practicing!)

My students are like Ron Clark's, but I am not such a gifted teacher. This song might be one of the only things my students have actually learned this year, but I think just knowing this song will serve them well in the future--they know not only the names of the Presidents, but key terms like "Emancipation Proclamation" and phrases ...

Laugh and Learn About Newborn Baby Care

CD-Charts > Music > Instructional
starring: RN Sheri Bayles
directed by: Gene Cernilli

Release Date March 24, 2005
This is the second Laugh and Learn DVD I have watched. My husband and I are using the whole series in lieu of classes since we can't find any in our area.

I thought the DVD was very well done, and it was nice that the presenter worked with real babies rather than dolls. It was a little bit distracting when the first baby cried throughout the demonstration, but I guess that's what it's really like! The presenter demonstrates most of the basics you need to know including the sponge bath, tub bath, hygiene, diaper changes, dressing, swaddling and even how to comb the hair. There was a very useful list of supplies at the end of the DVD so you know what you will need, and the use for each product was explained throughout the video.

Swing Dancing for Beginners Volume 1 (Shawn Trautman's Dance Collection)

CD-Charts > Music > Instructional
starring: Shawn Trautman

Release Date November 01, 2006
I've reviewed many "dance lesson" DVDs and videos made by professional dancers but they don't come close to the quality and depth of Shawn Trautman's. Their DVDs are well made,( proper lighting, excellent audio, multiple views of the footwork, they zoom in on important technical points). The instruction is clear and the lessons are taught at the perfect pace. It's like having the instructors right there in your home. They speak in detail to both the lead's role and the follower's. They stand and dance as you will while watching and practicing(not facing you so that you have to look over your shoulder while following the moves).

Spanish for Kids: Learn Spanish Beginner Level 1

CD-Charts > Music > Instructional
starring: Spanish for Kids-Beginner Level 1
directed by: Justin Isfeld

Release Date July 01, 2005
This is an excellent DVD. We are trying to learn Spanish since moving from Missouri to Miami Florida. My three children ages 9, 8, 7 are having an easy time learning Spanish because of this DVD. Easy to understand, fun, and subtitles really help. Highly recommended. Also recommended: "My First Spanish Word Book". This book has GREAT pictures of everyday items each one labeled in English and Spanish. A MUST HAVE for any children learning spanish, or learning Spanish to English.
