Free Classical Music Appreciation and Composer Study for Preschool, Kindergarten & Elementary

30 May

 

Yesterday, someone asked me for a recommendation for free music appreciation and composer study for younger children.  I replied with my favorite:  Classics for Kids

Each month, a different classical composer is highlighted.  This month:  Antonio Vivaldi

Each week, a different score of music is highlighted through a weekly “radio show.”

From the introduction on the Classics for Kids website:

This site is designed to help you introduce your child to classical music. Music not only has the power to stimulate the mind, enrich the heart and soothe the soul; it can help children to think more creatively, develop craftsmanship and discipline and learn the value of excellence.

What is available at the Classics for Kids website?  Here is just a sample:

  • Lessons plans for K-5th are available for certain composers
  • Games, including Compose Your Own Music (our children’s favorite on the site)
  • A weekly radio show, based on the current month’s composer’s music
  • Music selections from various classical composers
  • An interactive chart of Instruments of the Orchestra
  • Classics for Kids is also available as a podcast

How to Get This Freebie: Visit Classics for Kids

Especially for K-5th,  I’d say, but our older kids get a lot out of it, too!
