Michele B Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I want to hit more than Bach. But they do not have kid-books for Purcell etc.... Thanks a bunch! Michele http://www.thestripedrose.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandpsmommy Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 For music we use the Classical Magic book Themes To Remember, Vol. 1 by Marjorie Kiel Persons. In the Baroque Period section we learned The Spring Theme fron The Four Seasons by Vivaldi. We also spent a rather long period of time on Handel. We learned some themes from Water Music, The Messiah, and Royal Fireworks Music. Classical Kids has some good cd's which we listened to, as well, Vivaldi's Magic Ring of Mystery and Hallelujah Handel. We also have a picture book called Handel Who Knew What He Liked by M.T. Anderson. That's all we've done for the Baroque period so far, so that's all I can recommend. I hope you get more answers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca in VA Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 that have been reprinted. They're perfect for young children. They're now available with CDs of the music mentioned in the books and study guides. Check out http://www.bookpeddler.us (look in the right-hand column to see their composer specials). So far they've reprinted the books on Chopin, Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Handel, Schumann, and Bach. It's possible they'll be reprinting more in the future.

Rebecca in VA Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 They also just reprinted the Opal Wheeler books on Brahams and Schubert. They're so new they haven't even been shipped yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
