FREE SQUILT Lesson - Chopin's Minute Waltz

 

Are you incorporating music history in your homeschool studies?

Super Quiet UnInterrupted Listening Time is a perfect way to incorporate music appreciation into your homeschool day. I've tried to make this lesson easy for ANYONE to teach. All you need is an internet connection and some basic school supplies. 

Today I'm offering you a sneak peak of SQUILT Volume 3: Romantic Era (the full volume will be released later this month).

One of the composers being studied in this volume is Frederic Chopin.  Chopin composed The Minute Waltz. It's a perfect piece for SQUILT - short, sweet, and memorable. 

 

Download the entire Chopin SQUILT lesson and you will have your music appreciation for the week!

This 5 page download includes:

  • Instructions for how to teach the lesson
  • The SQUILT lesson - with internet links for listening. This also includes every single bit of information you will need to guide your child through the music. (It's EASY!)
  • Suggested enrichment activities
  • SQUILT Notebooking page
  • Chopin Notebooking page

 

 

Exciting SQUILT News!

On Monday, January 6, 2014, I will be releasing a special edition of SQUILT. This will be correlated to the Classical Conversations Cycle 2 listening selections. It will be a step by step volume that walks you through the musical concepts and pieces set forth in the Foundations guide.  

 

 Of course, SQUILT Volumes 1 and 2 are available RIGHT NOW, so there's no excuse not to be exposing your children to beautiful music as a part of your homeschool.

Thanks Mary, I just printed out my copy and sent a link to our piano teacher because we are having Composer's Festival featuring....Chopin! So this was very timely for us! Blessings, Kyle
