Teaching Pre K-8, Mar 2004 by Broderick, Patricia, Raymond, Allen

The World's Very Best Opera For Kids...in English!... Was new to us. We listened to the CD and went through the Teacher's Guide. We think you'll find it really interesting. The CD features 14 arias performed in English by both well-known and rising opera stars. Some of the arias are familiar, some not so, but we have a new appreciation for all of them.

The CD includes a synopsis of each opera, performers' biographies and complete lyrics. The 48-page Teacher's Guide includes cross-curriculum connections for the music specialist or classroom teacher (grades two-eight). There are group activities, suggested lesson plans, assessment and evaluation summaries. There's a really handy glossary of opera and musical terms, plus an opera pronunciation guide. Introducing kids to opera can provide a lifelong interest in this art, plus the more short-term benefit of increased language growth and the sense of story in music. $15.99, Teacher's Guide and CD $31.98. plus s/h.
