Music Study with the Masters: Joplin

This Music Study with the Masters portfolio, by professional musician and music teacher Rebekah Carlson, includes everything you need to teach music appreciation successfully (includes a 63-page printed booklet and 2 CDs).

• Feel confident—whether you are old friends with the composer or are just being introduced—with step-by-step instructions for doing music study. It takes only a few minutes each week, yet it yields amazingly rich results!
• Listen to a wide range of Joplin’s works and get to know his style with two full-length albums of his music.
• Learn the fascinating stories behind the pieces (and a bit about classical music along the way) with the Listen and Learn ideas for eight of Joplin’s works.
• Get to know Joplin as a real person through a personal portrait and see where he fits in history with the included timeline.
• Experience Joplin’s history come alive with two living biographies: a succinct and vivid A Day in the Life narrative designed for all ages, and a longer entire-life biography well-told for older students (or anyone who wants to learn more).
• Fuel additional discovery and heart connections with Joplin and his music with recommended resources for further study.
