Franz Joseph Haydn
This year's Mystery Composer is Franz Joseph Haydn!!!! At our Group Lessons Thursday, March 29th, we watched videos and discussed the life and music of Haydn. Students received packets with information about Haydn as well as homework assignments (besides practicing). Homework is due the week of April 25th at your student's private lesson.
Below are various links to YouTube videos that should be listened too and/or watched. If there is a box that says "video unavailable, watch on YouTube", still click on it. It will work. I'm just not the best at getting links to do what I want them to do. Parents: Spread out the listening assignments over the next couple of weeks, especially for the elementary students. This is a lot of music to enjoy so take the time to do so. Family dinners, in the car, a daily 10 minute special "listen" time would be good choices for the entire family to enjoy the music of Haydn.
The Podcasts below are roughly six minute sessions -- perfect for car time. Elementary Students are required to listen to them and tell me about them at their next lesson. Secondary students, while not required, should also listen to these. Unfortunately I could not figure out how to do the link straight to each podcast; click on the link below to WGUC's Classic For Kids website and it will take you to the Haydn page; the podcasts' links are at the bottom.
