lulalu Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I am looking for a book and cd that I can use for music appreciation. Something that talks about the composers and points out things in the music. I would love for it to have all kinds of genres not just classical, but anything works. Anything out there?

2_girls_mommy Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Don't know your ages, but in elementary school I used the books, What Your X Grader Needs to Know. They would have different genres of music, always some classical, and songs to learn. I just got books and CDs from the library to go along with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to find piano music at the library for a lot of the folk songs they suggest in primary school, so we could sing around the piano. We haven't done it this year, but it was fun when we did.

kbutton Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Young Scholar's Guide to Composers was pretty good. https://www.rainbowresource.com/prodlist?subject=Music/17&category=Young+Scholar’s+Guide+to+Composers/8855 We are also going to be trying some Professor Carol stuff. https://www.professorcarol.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
