Description
If you are looking for something that is not quite a music course, but more than a music supplement, this could be just that perfect balance for your family. Introduce students to 8 eras of musical history with downloadable music tracks from these periods: Greco-Roman, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Turn of the 20th Century and 1945-Present. Students learn what to listen for, musical vocabulary words, and a good amount of history, including a timeline. Each unit includes an overview, 2 pages of important musical developments, 2 pages of art showing life at that time, and a 1 page summary with listening examples & a written review. The answer key to the review is in the back. Not reproducible. Not consumable. I would have students write on their own papers as the written work is minimal. Music is now accessible via downloadable recordings from the publisher's website. Specific tracks are recommended in the lessons. Paperback book is large format (9" x 12") and colorfully illustrated. 56 pp ~ Sara
