Let's Meet Famous Composers

Harriet R. Kinghorn Β· 1992
62/100
πŸ‘Ž 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.
