I love this product! My son 10 yr. old son loves music and has enjoyed learning about the composers along with some interesting facts about their lives. I plan to use Stories of the Great Composers for my younger son in the future.

I love this book. It offers plenty of information about famous composers and engages the student with questions and answers. The CD that comes with the book is excellent. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their child's knowledge of music styles.

GREAT resource for homeschooling. My 9-year-old enjoyed it. Having the examples of the composer's music makes it so handy and the stories are interesting.

We have just started using the book as part of our home school program. My children are still talking about some of the tidbits of information they discovered about Bach. The CD is enjoyable to listen to as well.
