ChicoryChick Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I plan on using this 2009-2010 with my 6th grader as a spine for music next year. I will probably supplement it with some Opal Wheeler books, books from the library and research on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bookwormmama Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Can someone explain to me what this is? I would love some kind of classical music introduction for my kiddos but never seem to get around to it and need help... does anyone have a link to this program and explain what it involves? Thanks!

kalanamak Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I use this with my kids. It's a great introduction, but it just barely scratches the surface. If exposure is your goal (like it is for me), then this is a great program to use with the younger set. What is the difference between Meet the GC and Stories of the GC? I see two volumes of the first, and one of the second. Just more of the same? Or more superficial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabrett Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I used this when I taught Middle School Music Appreciation. It was the first 10 mins or so of class. I had the students read the sheet about the composer and answer the question, silently, while they listened to the music, by the composer, provided on the CD. It is really a nice over view of composers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you tell that Stories is for younger, and how young? I'd like to work on something with my 4th grader next year. Would Meet work for that level? And it looks like the accompanying CD has some of the compositions on it, or would you buy (or take out from the lib) more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the third link, RR says it is for younger children. The sample page I saw would be okay for my fellow, if I helped him by writing in the answers he gives me.
