Music Study with the Masters: Vivaldi

Enjoy and appreciate music together as a family! With these simple and effective lessons, you will get to know Vivaldi well, add variety to your schoolwork, and cultivate your children’s tastes for good music in just a few short minutes each week.

This Music Study with the Masters portfolio, by professional musician and music teacher Rebekah Carlson, includes everything you need to teach music appreciation successfully.

• 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 Vivaldi’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 Vivaldi’s works.
• Get to know Vivaldi as a real person through a personal portrait and see where he fits in history with the included timeline.
• Experience Vivaldi’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.

Please note: This is a new format. NO CDs. You must access music selections through specially curated playlists on Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, or Apple Music.  This replaces the CDs or MP3 downloads featured in previous Music Study with the Masters portfolios.
