Having this guide was very helpful because all the information was in one book and I didn’t have to look it up each time. However, most of the concepts were too difficult for the kindergarteners and 1st graders. Perhaps this book can be used for older grades and a simpler version can be made for the K-2 children?

Excellent guide! We use this with our whole family! (9 of us) It has made us love classical music even more than before! I love the biographies, the summary of the songs, the questions used to get you think about the songs. Very well done!
