Music
This
course is designed to provide an overview of music history
with a kid-friendly, modern approach that is completely
hands-on. The
timeline of western music is a detailed one, and the eager
learner will benefit from learning the difference between
Classical and Baroque, Romantic and various 20th
Century styles.
For
both the older and younger groups, one time period of
western music will be explored per week (in chronological
order). For
each time period, the most famous composer from that era
will be the focal point, and one of his songs will be the
listening/playing/creating example for that week.
Mozart did write Twinkle Tinkle after all!
By the 10th week, each student will have
his or her own folder of all activities to keep and take
home, and musical knowledge that will last a lifetime.
