Classical music is often seen as exclusive and partaking to a selected few, but this misguided perception needs to change.

According to Rebecca Hall, 39, musician with the Malta Philarmonic Orchestra, it's crucially important to expose kids to classical music as early as possible as it is something which will carry with them for life. Hall, who juggles her days between caring for her two kids, Ben, 10, and Sophia, 3, and her full-time job as a flutist, believes that more parents should be attending concerts with their kids.

"At the moment it's mostly the grandparents who come to concerts," she says. She believes kids are missing out on the excitement of the live theatre. "It's so much better than staying home and watching a video". Exposure to classical music will help children in learning to appreciate the arts.

"Not everyone will turn out to be a Paganini violinist or a James Galway flute player, but if they can take something of the enjoyment with them, that will stay with them a long them. Kids, as I discovered have a long memories," said Hall.

The Movie Spectacular Concert to be held on Saturday at the Mediterranean Conference Centre, is mainly aimed at families. "Movie music is something that everybody knows". Children, said Hall may not be familiar with Schubert or Tchaikovsky but they are very likely to know the themes from Star Wars or Avatar or Indiana Jones: "All wonderful pieces of classical music," said Hall.
