The Classroom Kit contains the book and CD combo and reproducible activity sheets. The companion repertoire book contains simplified arrangements of famous themes.
Happy Purchase!! We are homeschoolers and we just purchased this book and CD. WOW! It's going to be perfect for our music co-op class of elementary kids. Short, brief, and with a few fun games. I did also buy, Lives of the Musicians: Good Times, Bad Times, just to add some fun and humor for easier memorization techniques. These lessons can be done in a very short time for those with a very short attention span, while offering 17 lessons/composers. Each composer offers a unique project or activity that is relevant to the composer and/or time period. Very happy with this purchase!. "Great resources for teaching composers" according to clarimusic00. I bought this book (and book 1) when starting a "Composer of the Month" unit at the two schools I teach music at. These books have provided some nice worksheets and resources to reduce the amount of time preparing for each composer. It covers a wide variety of composers.. Jaynar05 said Very good book for children!. I'm really enjoying this book for my 7 and 9 year old children. We do the activities orally so that I can use this book for multiple children. I only wish my copy had the cd. I purchased this used and the cd was missing. I have been able to find the suggested listening on youtube. There is just the right amount of information on each composer.
