Lomax: The Hound of Music is produced by Sirius Thinking, Ltd., and premiers on CPTV, Saturday mornings at 9:30 AM, beginning October 18, 2008 (repeats Sundays at 7:30 AM). The series is designed to increase the musical intelligence of children ages 3 - 7, based on the curriculum of renowned University of Hartford music educator and author John Feierabend.
