Music Appreciation for the Middle Grades Book 2

Description

Music Appreciation Book 2 for the Middle Grades (6-8) has a few format differences from level 1. There are three components at this level. The large student activity book (#68092) (not reproducible, 3 hole punched, 315pp bound) is 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, but this is now also the source of the music samples. There are no physical music CDs 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. A separate lapbook (#70584) (not reproducible, 54pp stapled) comes in colorful printed pages. You 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 2 manila folders you format, easily separated for use. Finally, a coloring book (#68091) comes in a stapled format. The 80 illustrations coordinate with the lessons in the student activity book.

The core of this course is the 7 books from Great Musicians Series from Zeezok Publishing. (Item numbers 041843, 035417, 037547, 035419, 035421, 029674, 035423) ~ Sara
