My Music Appreciation Curriculum
I'm Speaking for LEGO® Education!

I have a FREE SQUILT lesson for you!
This Toccata & Fuge in D minor was written by JS Bach for the pipe organ. It is perfect to use during the Halloween season -- or during ANY time for that matter.
JS Bach is a composer all children should learn about, and this piece is probably the one that engages children immediately.

Music appreciation can be such FUN!
When I was an elementary school music teacher I always tried to pull out the most fun elements in music to attract my youngest listeners! Eventually, after being trained to listen to beautiful music, children are perfectly capable of appreciating and analyzing music for themselves.

Music is a gift. It is a profound expression of our deepest emotions.
As a child I didn't realize the value of piano lessons, concerts, and records (am I dating myself?) being played in our home.
As a parent, however, I am keenly aware that giving our children the gift of music is HUGE.
