Publisher Description:
We are proud to offer your children Classical Math to Classical Music. Experience classical math education and classical music education--all in one program! Every well-educated child should know something about the greatest music ever written -- Classical Music. They should know about the people who wrote the music--names like Bach, Beethoven, Bizet, Chopin, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Rossini, Schubert, Schumann and Strauss. These songs put the multiplication tables to music--not just any music--but the timeless melodies of the great classical composers.
Learn the 2’s to the strains of one of Mozart’s best-known symphonies. Learn the 5’s to a theme from Beethoven’s famous Pastoral Symphony. Learn the 11’s to a melodious work of Handel. And, while you are at it, why not learn something about the composer, too! Not only will you hear and appreciate their music, you will learn about the composers themselves! Then, you will reinforce that learning with clever crossword puzzles about those composers.
Learn the multiplication tables from 2 x 2 through 12 x 12 to great classical music. See the times tables written out in both vertical and horizontal format. Read about the lives of eleven great composers. Work clever crossword puzzles about the composers.
The CD presents each song four times. The first three times, your children will hear the answers. The fourth time through, your children will "sing in" the answers. This method of learning utilizes the time-tested method of "repetition, repetition, repetition." It builds confidence, enabling your kids to remember these facts for a lifetime.
Get ready to journey into the timeless world of classical music with Classical Math to Classical Music.
If you're going to set math facts to music to learn them, why not set them to classical music? And why not throw in a little study of the composers as a bonus? If you did, you'd have this product. Each of the tables is set to a classical melody taken from a work by the likes of Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Chopin, Handel, and other famous composers. For example, the 5x table is presented with a theme from Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony. The 9+ facts are set to a song from Verdi's Aida. Each "song" is performed four times on the CD; the first three are sung with answers, the last time your child will solo. Songs are not lyrical; they just repeat all of the math facts for that number. These are much like the Audio Memory method, only the music is less sing-songy because the melodies are more complex. Each CD is accompanied by a short booklet with a 2-page spread for each number. The left facing page has all of the math facts for that number shown in both horizontal and vertical format. The right facing page has a brief composer biographical sketch followed by a short crossword puzzle about the composer. The addition package covers facts from 1's to 10's. The multiplication set covers tables to 12's. The last page in each book is a reproducible drill sheet with all of the mixed facts, including space for completion time and score. An appealing math memory aid and drill product that's sure to become a classic in its own right.
