Children's β¦ Penny’s Take
Let's Meet Famous Composers
Harriet R. Kinghorn Β· 1992
62/100
π Skip It
Covering 19 major classical composers with reproducible activities and a glossary in one classroom resource is genuinely useful, and this series clearly served elementary music teachers well through the 1990s. But a 1992 publication feels its age β pedagogical approaches have moved on, the photocopy-era format is dated, and per-composer coverage is necessarily thin. Good for finding a cheap used copy for a classroom music corner; not worth hunting down at full price.
β¦ Penny’s Take β this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read β not a page-by-page personal one. The gold β Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
