Don’t just introduce your children to music theory, help them develop a love of classical music by introducing them to the sounds and biographies of seven composers paired with hands-on activities. Listen to several selections from each of the seven composers as you read about and get to know each one. Follow up with a workbook, a lap-book and hands-on activities that seem to bring the composer to life right there in your home classroom.
