Two brand new composer lapbooks have just been added to the ColorInMyPiano shop!
Meet Chopin!
Studying Chopin was the perfect opportunity to discuss various types of character pieces and listen to a variety of Chopin’s wonderful oeuvre for piano. We also talked a bit about Chopin’s background as a Polish composer and his life in Paris, contributing as a musician during salon performances.
And here’s Haydn:
When studying Haydn, my homeschool students learned about the popular music forms of the Classical Era (sonata, symphony, string quartet, concerto) and discussed the various places Haydn was employed as Kapellmeister (the Esterhazy palace, in particular). My students loved hearing about Haydn’s poor and lowly childhood and how his hard work and determination enabled him to become a great composer! I’m definitely going to use Haydn for the Classical composer for my summer camp this year.
You can view a full list of all the composer lapbooks now available here.
In case you are curious about what is next, I am excited to be currently working on a woman composer. 🙂 After that, I plan to choose another Baroque composer.
