Teacher’s Manual Sample
Music was recognized in ancient times as one of the seven essential subjects comprising the Liberal Arts, and music has always been central to classical education. By connecting music history to political and cultural history, we make all of history more memorable and more interesting. This unique curriculum connects music with visual arts, political and economic history, and Western culture from 1600-1914.
Is Classical Music Relaxing? An essay by Professor Carol on the wild ride of discovering music and its role in the history of the world.

Sample Lesson
Hard Copy or Online Course
The program can be used two ways: 1) hard copy edition or 2) online edition. The content for both is the same, it is the method of delivery that differs.The online edition offers greater flexibility, ease of use (for those attuned to navigating the web), and access to more ancillary materials. The hard copy edition is more suited to those who like to hold the materials in their hand, or who want to put the course on the shelf when they have finished it (possibly to use again when a younger student comes of age).
