Gena Mayo has done it again! "Music Appreciation of the Romantic Era for High School" offers students and parents a chance to learn about more than 40 different composers. Some musical selections were familiar, while others were completely new to me. Each lesson offers a brief biographical piece about the composer, followed by numerous samples of the composer’s work to enjoy. I cannot think of a better way to learn about music!

~Michelle Habrych, homeschool mom of 2 teens

Music Appreciation of the Romantic Era for High School is every bit as captivating as the other courses in the series. The written material that introduces the composers is as long as it needs to be and no longer. It motivates students (or should I say me?) to want to listen to all the musical selections. The videos embedded in the course have been carefully chosen so we don't have to wade through dozens of videos ourselves. The quotes by and about the composers are enlightening. The brief quizzes that follow each lesson help your student to focus. The curriculum is perfect for a once-a-week course and is highly enjoyable for students and teachers alike.

It's nice to have one fewer thing to plan- especially when the subject is one I'm not familiar with anyway.
I can hear an objection coming. "Well, couldn't I just hunt up the information about the composers in books and online? And couldn't I find all the YouTube videos so that we could watch and listen to all the music? And then I wouldn't have to buy a course." Well, yes, you could do that. But, do you have any idea how many hours it would take you to plan? I do because I've tried to do music appreciation that way before. Trust me. It's not worth it.
This course is more than worth the cost because all of the planning is already done. All of the information has been found and presented in a very clear, concise, and easy to understand way. All of the videos have been chosen and previewed and are presented with comments about their content. The printable pages have already been created and are ready to be used. It's all done for me. All I have to do is give the kids the computer and check up on their work later. That's awesome, my friend!

This course is just what I needed for my daughter's high school music credit this year! I love the easy to use course outline with all the necessary links and downloadable notebooking pages included. This saves me tons of time! My daughter is gaining a new appreciation for classical music and it integrates seamlessly into our homeschool days. Thank you, Gena, for creating this course!
