We warmed up for our monthly fine arts studies with a mini unit on Mozart. The boys were already familiar with these resources from our own shelves: Mozart: The Wonder Child(Another beautiful picture book biography from Diane Stanley.)
Mozart’s Magnificent Voyage
Part of the stellar Classical Kids series (I think we own them all, and my boys LOVE them), this CD combines a fictional story about three dream children from Mozart’s opera, biographical information about Mozart’s life, and excerpts of Mozart’s music.) Mozart’s Magic Fantasy(Also from the Classical Kids audio series, this is a wonderful introduction to Mozart’s opera, ‘The Magic Flute.’)
(This picture book is also a great way to familiarize children with the story of The Magic Flute.)
