I don't know if I'll have the energy to gather and use so many resources when we eventually move into more "official" homeschooling with the kids, but I definitely agree with your thoughts on the importance of classical music, and I love the approach you take to teaching it.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662784804825998751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377582441405318696.post-25415285074333914932013-12-03T13:34:32.712-05:002013-12-03T13:34:32.712-05:00Oh, Erin!

I blame it on the library "discard" sales where I pick up GREAT books for a quarter and then they get lost among all our other great books! After I read your comment and realized this, I pulled one out today to start reading to the kids, so thanks for the kick in the pants!<br />Of the Wheeler, we read the one on Bach last year, and I'm currently previewing Tchaikovsky and Wagner for next semester. Although, I admit, with a new baby arriving, I'm wondering if we'll ever get to the library or have read-alouds again and if we shouldn't just switch to books and textbooks on CD for the rest of our lives!! (You're in the same "boat" so I'll take any advice you've got for a homeschool mom about to add a newborn to the mix!) Thanks for your kind comments!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440812661317797011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377582441405318696.post-12361996517088528272013-12-03T02:11:19.776-05:002013-12-03T02:11:19.776-05:00Theresa

However you have inspired me to do a unit on music next year.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448595911801738792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377582441405318696.post-61477999707462431892013-12-01T08:13:13.075-05:002013-12-01T08:13:13.075-05:00The book list is fantastic and I truly love this s...The book list is fantastic and I truly love this series!9peasMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275852974567457188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377582441405318696.post-72552261259416267152013-12-01T06:23:37.050-05:002013-12-01T06:23:37.050-05:00Erin - too, too funny!

They are hard to come by though, aren't they? It bothered my all night that I forgot to include them here! Do you have a favorite?<br />Thanks so much for your comments. I'm so happy that this has been useful. I sure do love to chat about it!

As your boys love biographies I really, really recommend Opal Wheeler's books. they are OOP but you can find them 2nd hand through Abe books and Addall.
