In Music class this month, we are studying Form (very simply, patterns) in music, one of our national, state, and local standards. A resource that the kids have enjoyed is Fun with Composers by Deborah Ziolkoski. She has published a version of these lessons just for kids, (Volume I - “Just for Kid’s” Guides: Gr.3 - Gr.7) that your children may want to own. It comes with a CD so they can enjoy the same music with you that they are learning at school! If you are interested in owning your own copy, visit the website, http://www.funwithcomposers.ca/products.html#justforkids
Enjoy!

Lyric Masterpieces
March 19, 2011, 7 p.m.
Roswell Cultural Arts Center

http://www.georgiaphilharmonic.org/season.html

Join us in March for a feast of 19th Century Lyric Masterpieces from throughout the Old World. Delight to 19th Century Russian composer Alexander Borodin's evocative In the Steppes of Central Asia, whose rich melodies in the winds and brass perfectly capture the windswept beauty of these vast plains. Next, marvel at Tchaikovsky's First Symphony, "Winter Daydreams", in which the composer bends symphonic expectations to accommodate his brilliance as a melodist. The night concludes with Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, which debuted in Vienna in 1812 and has since inspired audiences and critics alike with its lively rhythms and memorable motives. By the end of this tour, we challenge you to go home without at least one song stuck in your head. . .

Borodin - In the Steppes of Central Asia
Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 1 "Winter Daydreams"
Beethoven - Symphony No. 7
