April 10, 2009 - Bach Composer Study
We've studied Bach this term. It was almost a disaster when I couldn't find any Bach CDs in our "small" town of 4 million. But Amazon to rescue! I've discovered that you can download entire music albums from Amazon for the same price as purchasing one! (Granted, it should be a tad cheaper, but I'm just glad to get instant music.) That really saved our composer study. I mean, how can you study music without listening to music? Rather absurd. I had books and audio with narration interspersed among snippets of music, but not one CD of just Bach's music. At any rate, the composer study has been saved, and we're enjoying just listening to the music as we do other things.
I've gathered all our resources -- books, printables, and audio -- at Bach Composer Study.

Wow! Nice resources!!
Also, if you need music in a hurry (and free) try using Pandora.com. You can set your station for a certain composer, and they will play that composer, and similar music. If you just want Bach (for instance) just click on the "don't like" button and it will filter the other artists out. :-)

Thanks so much for all the great resources and ideas! We will be studying Bach next year and you have just laid out exactly what we'll do for me:)
Great post and lens.

I love doing composer studies. I always learn so much. I did not get this in high school. Can I ask how you ended up in China?
