Composer study with AO
Just in reply to Helen’s comment that she didn’t know how the composer or artist study works.
Bearing in mind I’m no expert 
here goes. Each term (3 per year) there is a set composer or artist to study. By studying them it might be as simple as just listening to the works or viewing the art.
This term we might find a little harder to do more since there doesn’t seem to be much about online to delve deeper with. The composer is Franz Liszt. There’s some nice clips on you tube where the music is on Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny and also a Muppet clip. But it’s only the Hungarian Rhapsody that’s covered. I’m hoping to borrow one of the parts of Magical Music Box from Barbara which might give us something to work from as it’s about the Piano Concerto 1. I’m looking on ebay for some of the series for myself now!
We did well with the Rimsky-Korsakov study a while ago, there was a fair bit online and we looked into the Arabian Nights stories and found some more sites with things to do. A nice site I found is Classics for Kids which has podcasts and activity sheets on some composers (none for Franz Liszt though! But a small Bio). Depends really who it is as to how much you can find.
You don’t have to do who they say though, it’s just that way so people can share resources and stuff. I’m thinking it would be a good idea to use the Classics for Kids site and go with what they have as their composer of the month.
Does that help at all?
