Description
Music Appreciation Book 2 for the Middle Grades (5-8) has a few format differences from Book 1. The main component, the large Music Appreciation for the Elementary Grades Book 2 Student Activity Book (not reproducible, 3 hole punched, 315pp bound) is still the source of most of the content. Inside you have the QR codes (those little black squares you snap with your phone) with additional topical information, and these are now the source of the music samples. There is no physical USB stick for the music for level 2. Each composer has been allotted 4 weeks, but you have some flexibility with this. Includes: Chopin, Schumann, Wagner, Foster, Brahms, Tchaikovsky and MacDowell. The Lapbook (not reproducible, 54pp stapled) is made up of colorful printed pages. You print, cut and assemble the pages into your own lapbook. If you have not made a lapbook before, it is an activity for your student to complete. You make mini-books and glue them into two manila folders you format, easily separated for use. The Lapbook is not available in the USB for Level 2. The Coloring Book comes in a stapled format. The 80 illustrations coordinate with the lessons in the student activity book.
