“Let the young people hear good music as often as possible, . . . let them study occasionally the works of a single great master until they have received some of his teaching, and know his style.” —Charlotte Mason

This Music Study with the Masters portfolio, by professional musician and music teacher Rebekah Carlson, includes everything you need to teach music appreciation successfully.

  • Feel confident—whether you are old friends with the composer or are just being introduced—with step-by-step instructions for doing music study. It takes only a few minutes each week, yet it yields amazingly rich results!
  • Listen to a wide range of Mozart’s works and get to know his style with two full-length albums of his music. We have included mostly full-length works and added a few shorter, well-known pieces to round out the collection.
  • Learn the fascinating stories behind the pieces (and a bit about classical music along the way) with the Listen and Learn ideas for eight of Mozart’s works.
  • Get to know Mozart as a real person through a personal portrait and see where he fits in history with the included timeline.
  • Experience Mozart’s history come alive with two living biographies: a succinct and vivid A Day in the Life narrative designed for all ages, and a longer entire-life biography well-told for older students (or anyone who wants to learn more).
  • Fuel additional discovery and heart connections with Mozart and his music with recommended resources for further study.

Charlotte held that “Music is a necessary part of education.” Your students will enjoy this part of a rich education when they do Music Study with the Masters!

Its goal is the formation and equipping of the whole person made in God’s image, who can learn, reason, and persuade people to the enduring truths of God and act virtuously toward their neighbor.

The ICP guides are written for grammar level students (K-5th grade) and are organized around the four major eras of world history (ancients, middle ages/renaissance, early modern, modern). There will also be a fifth guide that focuses on American or Canadian history and geography, as well as national artists, writers, and musicians.
‍
Each memory guide consists of 30 weeks of core memory work including history catechisms, geography locations, science and math facts, English grammar, Greek (in the Ancients guide), and Latin and French grammar and vocabulary.

Additionally, each memory guide includes three hand-drawn then digitized maps per week that correlate to the history catechism. There is one colored/labeled, one colored/blank, and one black and white/blank.

Finally, each memory guide includes 30 weeks of Pulchre Tempore (Beautiful Time) that focuses on a morning basket of hymns, poetry or scripture, catechisms, and various lists, as well as picture study, music selections, and read aloud suggestions that are all integrated with the memory work.

How does it work?

‍All core memory work is on the front page of each week. The facts can be chanted, sung, written out (for penmanship practice), dictated, paraphrased, narrated back, cut-up word by word, phrase by phrase, or sentence by sentence, scrambled, and then put back together in order, orally answered, drawn, acted out (with costumes!), recorded for play-back later, diagramed – there are many ways to approach it! It should be a varied, pleasurable and joy-filled time! You can bring the memory work alive and into context through living books, nature studies, conversations, field trips, and fun. The memory work is a jumping off point for further studies and, in general, is not intended to be learned in isolation. Further, we highly recommend integration of subjects as much as possible, as well as plenty of opportunities for narration.

Here is an example:

‍For example If your student is memorizing a history catechism about the Israelites, their history and Bible reading for the week should relate to the Israelites; the history should inform the geography and map work studied. Additionally, read-alouds and picture studies should touch upon them in some way, and, where possible, even the music listened to should center around the culture. Will this always be possible? No, and there is never any reason to stress out about it, but if the goal of integration is in the back of the teacher’s mind, then it will happen, even in very small ways. In the beginning it may seem forced, but as integration becomes more familiar, it will happen organically.

Includes:

Memory Work Guide (plus maps packet and audio of core memory work)
Science Guide: Biology
Fine Arts Guide
