August 19th at 7 p.m. — Composers in the Classroom
Composers in the Classroom
When we think about our great classical composers, we often imagine them with silver hair and serious faces, as they’re seen in their most famous portraits. Especially when listening to their greatest works, we sometimes forget that they were all once students, too: taking lessons, doing homework, and attending classes like any other young person looking to hone their craft.
As many students around the country return to school this month, WGUC is airing its own original special called “Composers in the Classroom,” a 2-hour-long program featuring the earliest student works by our most beloved classical composers. Listen to the special program on Wednesday, August 19th at 7 p.m. on 90.9 WGUC.
Additional Classroom Resources:
Classical music not only has the power to stimulate the mind, enrich the heart, and soothe the soul; it can also help you meet the educational objectives of your students. Dr. Kay Edwards, Professor and Area Coordinator in Music Education (Emerita) at Miami University, created these lesson plans, which provide useful information about some of the artists featured in the Composers in the Classroom Special.
