Zeezok Publishing Composer Series

The Great Musicians Series and Composer Series by award-winning author, Opal Wheeler, are wonderful illustrated reprints written in the mid-1900's.  Each delightfully-written story features a famous musician or composer, are illustrated with original drawings, and even contain samples of each composer's sheet music. 

My daughters have read several of these while playing the CD/DVD's (sold separately).  They really enjoyed them, and look forward to reading more in the series.  Besides audio files, the CD contains coloring pages and printable sheet music.

The DVD's contain the works of 2 composers.  You can also get a study guide (sold separately) for most of the titles in the series.  The study guides contain interesting tidbits of the composer's life, maps and timelines, comprehension questions, and even some fun puzzles.

These classic stories make a great addition to any study of the reformation, or recent world history (1600's to 1900's).

Edward MacDowell and His Cabin in the Pinesa sensitive, appealing and lively biography of America's beloved composer which boys and girls (all others, too) will take to their hearts and treasure. His Quaker beginnings, his irrepressible interest in music, his youthful triumphs abroad, his visit to the master, Franz Liszt, who greeted him warmly and asked him back again to play at the festival in Zurich - his romance with his pupil, the lovely Marian Nevins, their marriage and return to America, the launching of the Peterboro, New Hampshire, colony, which bears his name - these are some of the delightful stories in the rich career of America's greatest composer, told gently, sensitively and with feeling, in a truly inspiring book.
