Featured on Cooler Classics: Eleonor Bindman on Listening, Curating, and Classical for Kids
Eleonor Bindman joined Peter Lewis on Cooler Classics for a wide-ranging conversation about Classical for Kids alongside her latest recording projects — from the recent Bach Lute Suites for Piano (Orchid Classics) to a new Spanish guitar and flamenco transcription series. The interview makes the case for listening as the most overlooked part of children's music education: why instrumental music, free of lyrics, trains attention and emotional range in ways pop songs can't; what separates carefully curated playlists from algorithm-driven streaming; and why introducing classical music at home requires neither expertise nor expense — just the press of a button. A thoughtful, unhurried conversation, well worth a listen.
