    Love these well put together resources. They have been a lifesaver through NTI days (for weather and sickness) this year.

    I used this slideshow in my 6th grade general music class. The presentation and graphics were nicely done, and the slides contained just the right amount of information.

  7. Michelle J. –

    This was great for my kids as far as the slides, and the multiple musicians presented. They are not into all of the music genres I’ll be teaching, and baroque was a hard sell. The slide of interesting facts caught all of their interest, so I could refer back to that when talking about the different artists. Thanks for including that!

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Personally, I love learning fun facts like that about the time period, so I’m glad they appreciated it too!
