If you have read through our curriculum overview for this semester you may have noted that we are supposed to be focusing on Tchaikovsky’s music. I had intended to follow a Charlotte Mason approach and choose one composer per term. Well, like so many things around here my moods and tastes follow the seasons and this composer focus quickly fell by the wayside.
In the fall I pull out all my Celtic inspired music. There is just something about October Project or Enya on cool, rainy, autumn days. It doesn’t mean that we don’t listen to classical music. Mozart and Vivaldi will definitely surface in the spring and the Nutcracker Suite will become a favorite in another few weeks but for now the kids and I are jumping around the house doing our version of River Dance. 😉
