Learning through our music appreciation activities using Zeezok has been plain fun. Also, look at Fun Facts About the Phantom of the Opera & Styles of Music Unit Study.
Today, I decided to give you a peek at the minibook on Beethoven.
You know I told you that for a few months now I have been reviewing Music Appreciation for the Elementary Grades: Book 1 by Zeezok Publishing.
It has been such an over the top wonderful comprehensive music study that we have been spending as much time as we can on it.
I have a full review coming next month on it, but can’t contain myself and have to give you another sneak peek at the fun we are having with it.
In the bundle there are seven different composers, dating from 1685 to 1828 to study about.
They are:
- Bach,
- Handel,
- Haydn,
- Mozart,
- Beethoven,
- Paganini and
- Schubert.
We have read a bit on most of the composers but we have honed in on a study of Beethoven.
I like the fact also that our study of Beethoven coincides with our unit study on the French Revolution.

Today though I wanted to show you the picture of the cutest chiming bells minibook about events in Ludwig’s life.
It folds up accordion style and we used some orange twine to weave ours together and tie it up.
Reading the biography on Beethoven that came in this series and learning about Beethoven’s love for chiming bells, Tiny made the mini book that gives a quick reference in each chapter where Beethoven shows how the music of the bells comforted him or brought back memories.
Tiny was so tickled with it and I had to show it to you.
Also, after reading the biography we work on some activities in the activity book.
Tiny likes to divide out his writing and I don’t mind. So we do the same with each chapter in the biography book.
The picture above is the activity book which has plenty of hands-on activities to choose from and we like that part the best so far.
Well there are some others parts to this curriculum we are loving too and I’ll show you those next time because I can’t wait to the end of next month to give you a heads up on what we are doing.
