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

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.

Last week our local CC community began our musical studies with a drama of Peter and The Wolf. It was so much fun! Learning about the instruments through this musical classic is the perfect way to kick off any child's study of great music.
{Stick around and at the end of the post you can win a copy of Peter and the Wolf from Maestro Classics!}
One thing I have learned through being involved with Classical Conversations is that less really is more. The material is of such a high quality, that if I find one or two good supplements to the memory work/art and music suggestions then we're good.

Music appreciation is kind of "our thing". Being a degreed musician and former elementary music teacher leads me to choose music materials for our homeschool quite carefully. I look for quality music, the opportunity to learn about composers, and a "unit study" approach to music appreciation.
I know, however, that a music appreciation course needs to be easy for the non musical parent.
Enter Zeezok Publishing and their new music appreciation curriculum.
