Music Appreciation

Resources:
Music of the Great Composers by Patrick Kavanaugh (formerly A Taste for the Classics) ~ Easy and enjoyable lessons on what a concerto is and similar info

The Spiritual Lives of Great Composers by Patrick Kavanaugh ~ Short biographies of many composers in chronological order of their life spans.

Both are good books for early narration.

Combine history and music study by looking up the musical development of an era in a book such as The Timetables of History by Bernard Grun
