Great way to learn the history of great Composers! Fun and informative

This game makes music history come alive. It teaches students so much more than just composer names and dates. The visual stimulus of the maps, the color-coded musical eras, the composer portraits all help relate material. Hint: create a Spotify playlist with relevant cited works on hand for aural stimulus to enhance their learning experience. Students will spontaneous make connections and comparisons as the game rolls along. What an opportunity to contrast Pachelbel with Stravinsky for example! The game itself can be time consuming— but well worth the wait! (Also! I am disappointed that the adorable studious owl does not actually come with the set ?!!)
