I was a hardcore math and science kid. That's the way my brain works. However, I want to make sure I give my kids some well-rounded experiences. As part of that, I decided to do an Artist of the Month and a Composer of the Month.
Each month will have the composer, where they are from (we're working on geography), some quick facts and we will listen to some of their works. I will also use outside books, YouTube videos and other resources (I included some of these links in the PDF I'm sharing). If I can find them, I'll print some simple sheet music too. Since I have a middle schooler and a 3 year old, I included a wide range of things.
General Resource About Composers
- Music and How It Works
- Because
- Lives of the Musicians: Good Times, Bad Times (and What the Neighbors Thought)
- Book About the Orchestra
- Welcome to the Symphony: A Musical Exploration of the Orchestra Using Beethoven's Symphony No. 5
- Allegro: A Musical Journey Through 11 Musical Masterpieces
- Help Your Kids with Music
- Lift-the-Flap Questions and Answers About Music
(Only a few are done, so far. I will update as I add more, I was just excited to share before school started)
