lexi Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Ok, I want to do something a little more structured than simply listening to classical music. I'd like something with bios and a breakdown of some of the famous works by each composer so we can talk about it. What do you all use for learning about composers and doing music appreciation? I need some suggestions.......This is for early elementary. Also, what does everyone enjoy for character training? I've looked at the FIAR character supplement and I like the book selections they use. Has anyone used this? Is it worthwhile? The character supplement from Barefoot Books just didn't look meaty enough for us. Suggestions please!! Lexi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelli Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 This is what I use for character training with my 7 year old. We really like it: http://www.trainupstudies.com/ It is Christian based, so if you are wanting something secular this is not it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristiana Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I really like Classics for Kids. All the radio shows are archived on the site and there are printables to go along. I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but Shiver Academy has units for downloading that go along with William Bennett's The Book of Virtues.

I'm going to look it over! And yes, we were looking for something Christian-based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm going to use some of the Classics for Kids for my daughter to listen to. It sounds like something she will enjoy. And I had not seen the download for the Book of Virtues. That is a HUGE file with lots of info so I'm going to look through it. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
