One of my favorite things about homeschooling is being able to incorporate the fine arts into our home. Studying about specific composers and listening to their music throughout the day has been such a fun and relaxing time in our homeschool.

I love filling my home with beautiful music. I never thought I would be one to enjoy classical music. It was a surprise to see how much I enjoyed listening to it with my children. Since we enjoy it so much, I thought it would be fun to do a series on some of our favorite composers.

How do you do a Charlotte Mason composer study?

The first thing to do is to pick a composer to study, read great books about him and listen to the music often. When we choose a composer to study, we play their music daily.

Listening time can be done during morning time, or during a break for lunch. We will also look for calming videos with the music pieces playing in the background.

I also like to incorporate coloring sheets, worksheets and even notebooking while they are listening to the music. These are great options for younger children. It helps to include them and immerse them in the studies.

How Long Should We Focus on One Composer?

The Charlotte Mason way of composer study is usually to take an entire term to study one composer. That would make it so you are learning about one composer every 9-12 weeks. I prefer to learn about one a month or one every 6 weeks, that’s just my preference.
