swimmermom3 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Oh no! I just got an email that the talented Amy Pak at Homeschool in the Woods has a new release: http://homeschoolinthewoods.com/HTTA/AP/Composers.htm It takes us awhile to finish our projects but the end result is something my dc show every family member and neighbor. This one is on the great composers with music samples and can be downloaded. I have books and CDs on composers. Do I need hands-on projects? Someone talk me out of this.

camibami Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 STOP IT, YOU!! We already have *2* art programs- 2!! We never even finish ONE per year, so what possessed me to get 2, I'll never know. We already have a music appreciation program. I do not need this product. Nope. DOn't need it. Not looking. (LALALALALALALALALALA) Seriously, I was just coming here to lament my extreme over-scheduling for next year, and what do I find? More stuff I want to buy! (not necessarily use). SO cut it out, you. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkermamaof4 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 i just told my dh tonight that i want to order it and do it when the cd is ready, so I can't stop you. it looks great! Do you have something with info about each composer or do you plan to just use the internet, or what? (Did you see that Amy said it doesn't include that, just the projects?) We have Story of the Orchestra and all of the Beethoven's Wig cd's, but that is all. We've never really studied composers. I am excited!

Dixie Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 This Activity Pak looks like it might go along the composers course I bought from Bright Ideas Press. I bought a Young Scholar's Guide to Composers. http://brightideaspress.com/YSGComposers.htm Dixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmermom3 Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Nice job at restraining me, fellow posters.:glare: Thanks to your rather feeble efforts, I am the proud owner of the Composer study. Someone had to satisfy everyone's curiosity. And I am happy that I obliged. There isn't a text like the Time Traveler's series, but information on the classical music period, numerous vocabulary definitions, and the purposes for certain types of music is included. I plan on using my Meet the Great Composers books for thebiography information. You could certainly use the Internet. So for $20, you have a fairly complete overview and a nice project to show for you effort. We will be studying ancient history next year but if you are on the Middle Ages, you could schedule the musicians and periods chronologically. I think. Superb justification for making yet another curriculum purchase. Don't you think? Yes, I am sure my dh will agree with you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Alfred Academy Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Here are some free resources... http://www.squidoo.com/musiclapbook http://www.squidoo.com/opera-for-children http://www.squidoo.com/bach-composer-study Jimmie has some of my favorite lenses on squidoo. She always has great resources listed and notebooking or lapbooking pages to go along with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmermom3 Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Brittney, Thanks for the links. I forgot about Jimmie's lenses. She is a great resource for all kinds of information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
