Composer Biographies By Opal Wheeler
Introduce your children to some of the greatest composers ever. These biographies by Opal Wheeler are directed to the 1-6 grader, but can be enjoyed by any age. Each book has interesting information about each composer written in story form. They also contain music written by the composer that your budding musician can play, or can listen while someone else plays.
The Study Guide will help you create a Unit Study based on these famous composers. The CD (which has 2 composers on one CD) has a performance of all the music in the books which can be printed out as sheet music for you to play and color sheets for your child to enjoy while you read the book aloud or listen to the beautiful music.
