I am a singer.
So- I love music.
However, I have never truly had the opportunity
to fully explore different
classical composers before,
so the idea of teaching a subject like this
to my kiddos is kinda daunting.
Therefore, when Timberdoodle gave me the
opportunity to review...
by
I was super-excited!
*******************************************
This program includes:
*32 Weekly Lessons
(That's a full year of music curriculum!)
*26 Bios of Famous Composers
(They are not boring-
promise!)
*6 Eras of Music Explained
(If it ain't "baroque," don't fix it!)
*Easy-to-Use Comparative Timeline
(I like the little "tombstones" that they include
on the timeline to signify a composer's death-
is that a little morbid?)
*Easy-to-Use Maps
(Haven't you every wondered if Vivaldi
and Bach could have been neighbors? :0)
*Composer Info Cards and Game
(Watch out UNO!)
*Note-Taking Pages
(Yes, it is fill in the blanks...)
*Quizzes
(Well, we need to see if you've been
paying attention!)
*Answer Keys
(In case us parents weren't paying as
close of attention...*AHEM*)
*Listening Suggestions
(I mean, what is a composer study
without MUSIC?)
*Intricate Coloring Pages
(A little something to work on while
listening to the classics...)
*Resource Books
(For when you are inspired
to learn more about a
composer or his music.)
***********************************************
A typical section is set up into 3-5 sessions,
letting you focus on one composer
for a week.
I love, love, LOVE that each composer lesson
is tied to a timeline that also focuses on the different
musical eras,
and that you are emcouraged to listen to the same
musical selection all week.
HOWEVER, my kiddos are still a tad young
to do this study independently,
so I will definately be using this curriculum
at a snail's pace.
I would recommend this study for kiddos anywhere
from 5th-9th grade,
and it can of course be adapted and used
with age groups both above and below
this recommendation.
