If you think your child might not be ready for this you can start with the Elementary Book. The vocabulary covered is the same in both books, but Book 1 adds in conversation and begins simple French grammar. Children who have used the Elementary Book (either in Level 1B or Level 1A) are likely to be able to complete Book 1 in one year because of the overlap. We have scheduled the Skoldo books at a slow pace to allow time for extra French books and activities, and to prevent children being overburdened by the grammar element. <\/p><\/div><div class=\"scbb-content-box scbb-rounded-corners\" style=\"background-color: #f8f6f0\">\r\n<h5><strong>MUSIC APPRECIATION\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\r\n<p>(<em>1x every other week<\/em>)<\/p>\r\n<p><b>Key Resources:<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">* <\/span><b>Music Masters Set 1<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Schumann\/Greig, Mendelssohn, Schubert)<\/span><b><br \/><\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Follow up each Music Masters CD by listening to complete works by the featured composer.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Note: Other Music Masters CDs can be substituted so that all children in a family can study the same composer.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>See also <a href=\"http:\/\/materamabilis.org\/ma\/subjects\/music-appreciation\/\">Music Appreciation<\/a> page.<\/p>\r\n<p><b>Level 1A Year One:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Term 1: Bach &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><b><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3iDi3tw\">The Story of Bach in Words and Music<\/a><\/b><\/li>\r\n<li>Term 2: Mozart &#8211;\u00a0<b><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2VHT26q\">The Story of Mozart in Words and Music<\/a><\/b><\/li>\r\n<li>Term 3: Chopin &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2BEtS1E\"><b>The Story of Chopin in Words and Music<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><b>Level 1A Year Two:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Term 1: Schumann &amp; Grieg &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><b><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2YVBaqD\">The Story of Schumann &amp; Grieg in Words and Music<\/a><\/b><\/li>\r\n<li>Term 2: Mendelssohn &#8211;\u00a0<b><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3dVddE7\">The Story of Mendelssohn In Words And Music<\/a><\/b><\/li>\r\n<li>Term 3: Schubert &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/31JxOZY\"><b>The Story of Schubert in Words and Music<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><b><i>Recommended Resource:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2YWTX51\"><b>Masters of Classical Music<\/b><\/a><b> (Box Set)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2013 economical set of 10 CDs, each featuring works by a different composer.
