JoyfullyNoisy 39 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 This is a fun resource for learning about classical composers and their eras. ONE reading of this short book and my kids know the composers, where they were from, famous works and their musical periods. :hurray: And as a side benefit, they learn how to make and use memory palaces to internalize information. . http://www.amazon.com/Classical-Composers-Musical-masters-Palaces-ebook/dp/B00M3PB41O/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1406295451&sr=1-1&keywords=desiree+bradford+scarambone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dmmetler 25,176 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I bought it-this is one of the subjects I often teach for music camps and the like, so I'm always looking for resources. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angie in VA 5,240 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Thanks for this. I thought you were quoting Sherlock till I peeked at the book. What do you use for listening to their works? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoyfullyNoisy 39 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 We love The Story of Classical Music (http://www.amazon.com/The-Story-of-Classical-Music/dp/B004QY1DSY/ref=sr_1_13?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1406304575&sr=1-13&keywords=the+story+of+classical+music) as a follow up because the memory palace gives the stories places to stick. My husband and I are both musicians so we have a lot of recordings on hand. However, I'll often just turn to YouTube if I don't feel like digging through CDs. I have them listen to works mentioned and follow little rabbit trails as they wish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dd is a music ed major, but has been too busy practicing, working, and studying to listen to it. One day. Both of my dc are in orchestras, so they get good exposure, but I still want them to listen to this. Thanks again. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoyfullyNoisy 39 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 We're both pianists. He's a music prof and I run a private studio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angie in VA 5,240 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 We're both pianists. He's a music prof and I run a private studio. Just seeing this response. Wish you could help my dd w/ her piano skills. Second biggest guilt factor for me regarding dd. (First: not finding a better violin teacher earlier in her life. *Sigh*) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoyfullyNoisy 39 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I see you're in VA. My incredible pedagogy teacher has moved to VA. Perhaps she's close enough to be of help. It's a nice thought at least. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
