I fall into this category. When it comes to music, I am woefully illiterate.
I love singing and I enjoy music from many genres, but I am totally clueless. When one of my children expressed an interest in learning more about music, I knew I needed help.
Two of our children are now participating in our local children’s choir, but I was still looking for something to use within our home. You can imagine my thrill to have the opportunity to review the Music Appreciation for the Elementary Grades curriculum from Zeezok Publishing.
I was blown away from the moment I opened the box with our books and CDs. Wonderful literature, beautiful music, engaging activities, what more could a homeschool parent ask for? Zeezok music appreciation curriculum has been a hit for everyone in our home!
Homeschool Music Appreciation with Zeezok
The Music Appreciation for the Elementary Grades curriculum covers seven composers dating from 1685 to 1828 (Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Paganini and Schubert).
The set includes the following resources:
- 5 Music CDs
- 7 Composer Biographies
- Student Activity Book
- CD with Lapbook Components
Zeezok Music Appreciation makes it so easy for any parent to teach music appreciation regardless of your musical background. And it should come as no surprise since Zeezok Publishing was founded by other committed homeschoolers.
This two-year music curriculum was created for use with students in grades K-6. As a mother of five children, the more learning we can do together the better! The set comes with one student activity book and you will want to purchase activity books for any additional children.
More Reasons to Love Zeezok Music Appreciation
