to tie to Math and Language skills.  If you are homeschooling music is one of the fun subjects that can be included.  A couple months ago I reviewed a cool music site my son was playing with.  There are many great tools available online for incorporating a section on music.  I know Beethoven’s Fifth is a favorite of my kids (and my husband).

These Free Composer Notebooking Pages can be used with any composer you choose.  Just grab a living book about your composer, and use these pages to write about all you’ve learned.

 

After studying your favorite composer you can incorporate a fun craft of ‘make your own instrument’.  My kid’s love making bottles into instruments (filling each with a different amount of water).  You can also create drums from bowls and a whole orchestra from things you find around the house!
