Meet thc Composers!

So many of you have been asking me about the lesson plans I have been using for my homeschool groups. I'm happy to say that one of them is now available for download!

Meet the Composers! provides a wonderful opportunity to introduce elementary students who may have minimal or no musical knowledge to some amazing composers and the art of composing!

Designed to be taught in 4 one and a half hour classes, these plans provide the complete format to not only introduce students to some amazing composers, but also to give them the opportunity to create their own compositions through a few basic composing techniques.

These plans are perfect for use in an elementary classroom, working with a homeschool class, a summer camp or even using for year-long group lessons in your own music studio. The packet provides complete plans, supply lists, and a resource section with materials you will need!


To purchase your copy now, simply click on the camp tab above!
