Vivaldi last quarter was wildly successful. Lydia completely loved it and asks to listen to it every day. After a few months of Vivaldi every day, though, I was going to go nuts. I was much relieved to be able to start our new unit of Chopin! Like I've mentioned before, we're following Ambleside's recommendations for Classical music study, although they take the summers off, so I'll probably add an extra unit a year because of that. Here's a link to what they recommend for Chopin, and here's a link to my playlist on on Grooveshark. So far every time I turn on Chopin, Lydia just asks to listen to Vivaldi, so she doesn't seem to love it as much, and that sort of makes sense. Chopin is mostly quiet piano music, and Vivaldi was more exciting orchestra music, and I could see how that would appeal to a toddler more. As a result we're still listening to quite a bit of Vivaldi as well.
For our modern music study, my husband chose Queen for this quarter. I was glad because I enjoy Queen very much, I mean, who doesn't? Their music is so bombastic and silly that even kids can enjoy it. Lydia hasn't really shown much preference towards it yet, but that's ok. She has a lifetime to learn to enjoy Queen! Tyler chose to have us listen to Queen's Greatest Hits Volume 1, plus the song "Under Pressure".
