Our music appreciation plan was created to be used by high school students that wish to have a program organized in a four-year history cycle.
The plan includes reading from Classical Music Experience and listening to the accompanying CD. The plan also includes listening to selections from the Classical Music Start-Up Kit volume 2. These two products are the foundation of the plan and can be used for all four high school years.
In addition to those two primary products, the plan uses online sources to compliment the book Classical Music Experience. There are multiple online resources to stream or purchase the required selections – Classicalmusicarchives.com, Naxos.com, Amazon Music, or the music streaming site of your choice. You can choose to use one of the online sources or none at all.
Your student will also write a one to two-page biography for each composer studied and then a one to two-paragraph opinion of the composer. The student may also keep a list of the musical selections he has listened to during the study period.
In addition to picture and music study, the plans offer additional art appreciation books, music, and podcasts that you can use as you have time available.
We also encourage you to incorporate hands-on art lessons with Nana. Children learn best by doing, and creating the art is always the most fun part!
By creating a habit of viewing paintings each week and listening to carefully curated music, your children can get to know a variety of artists and composers within a particular time period.
