Looking for a fun, hands-on way to learn about the orchestra, classical music, and the world’s greatest composers? Look no further! Welcome to the World’s Greatest Composers Study Volume 1 Giveaway!
In this series of studies, we will be taking a look at 8 of the world’s greatest composers.
The goal behind the World’s Greatest Composers curriculum is to immerse students in the work of each composer so that they are well familiar with their style, methods and music. Much of your time studying will be through open discussion with students and listening to compositions. Upon completion of this curriculum, your student should be able to easily recognize the pieces from each composer studied. They will also have learned several different styles of music, vocabulary, as well as have gained an appreciation for music in general.
Like the World’s Greatest Artists study, the composers study uses the World’s Greatest Composer Series by Mike Venezia.
What is included in the study?
For each day of listening there is an activity for students to complete while listening. This will help them focus on the music, and think critically about what they are hearing. By the end of the study, your student will have a completed composers notebook along with an orchestra and music lap book.
- Introduction to Orchestra
- Johann Sebastian Bach
- George Handel
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
- Ludwig Van Beethoven
- Frederic Chopin
- Peter Tchaikovsky
- Igor Stravinsky
- George Gershwin
- Composer Reports
- Instrument Word Scrambles
- Music Bingo Cards
Each composer unit has 10 lessons, I suggest scheduling 2-3 days per week for the composers study. The curriculum will take 1 full year to complete at this pace. However, the lessons can be easily adapted to fit your schedule as well.
As you progress through each composer your student will be creating a fun lap book to help them remember what they’ve learned.

I’ve got another classical music resource for you. Check out “Kiddie Records Weekly”. It’s a wonderful site full of old recordings from the 50s/60s. There are several music appreciation recordings and tons of great stories too. I’ve got a dozen CD’s in the car full of these amazing recordings. I just created one that is a compilation of all of the music appreciation tracks and it’s mesmerizing to my little munchkins! It makes car rides much more peaceful too. 🙂
Our official school year with new curricula doesn’t start until next week since we are in the process of moving out of our house right now. We are currently finishing up old curriculum and using review products. We would love to incorporate “The World’s Greatest Composers” curriculum into our homeschool week. I hope to have music class at least twice a week if not more often. I haven’t decided if it’ll happen early in the morning or later in the afternoon yet. I love the books that are used with this curriculum! I recently purchased the Omnibus e-book collection containing several of your resources and we LOVE them! It would be a blessing to to win this item. Thank you for hosting this giveaway.
God bless,
