Advantages: fun, entertaining, good value for money
Disadvantages: none

...Yet another rainy day, your young children are bored, you want to do some housework but really don’t want to leave them watching television AGAIN. So what do you do? Simple put some music on. Now there’s an idea, but what music would they like? They’re too young to be into pop music yet and daddy’s Bob Marley isn’t really quite their scene either.
