Music is an important element in all of our lives. I believe that it is important to introduce my children to different types of music. This school year my daughter and I will be learning about different composers. What a fun way to introduce music and history together. Lucy loves "The Nutcracker Ballet". It has become a family tradition to attend "The Nutcracker" this time of year. For a few years in a row we went to Golden West Colleges production. Last year we went to a different production and will do the same thing this year. So we figured that it would be great to learn about than Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Upon Googling him I came across this website that looks like a great resource.
