The series by Robert Venezia on composers is excellent. from Scholastic Library Publishing (formerly Children's Press) www.scholasticlibrary.com <http://www.scholasticlibrary.com> 3. I have some links on my website that we've used with 4th graders that weren't too bad: http://www.nobl.k12.in.us/media/NorthMedia/STUDENT/specialareas/composers.htm 4. Our fifth graders do a music style report every year and one of the resources that is the most helpful is The Story of Music an encyclopedia of I think 10 volumes by Grolier. -------------------------------------------------------------------- All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
