September is Classical Music Month
September was declared Classical music month in 1994 by President Clinton. Classical music can be appreciated by reading story books and playing classical music to your children. It is a great way to introduce to your children the different types of instruments that are used in classical music such as woodwind, string, brass, and percussion. In addition, classical music helps the brain to develop and to calm down. Learning about different classical composers will also give your child some curiosity for the fine arts and appreciate music.
Some classical
composers such as Ludwig Van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann
Sebastian Bach, Frederic Chopin, and Franz Schubert have excellent music for
reading story books and before studying new information for school. Classical
music is broken down into many eras such as Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque,
Classical, and Romantic. Some examples of Baroque music are Johann Pachelbel, Johann
Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, and Antonio Vivaldi. While the Romantic
composers are: Ludwig Van Beethoven, Antonin Dvorak, Frederic Chopin, Giuseppe
Verdi, Richard Strauss, Niccolò Paganini, Giacomo Puccini, Sergei Rachmaninoff,
Felix Mendelssohn, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. All these composers have terrific
compositions to listen to at any age.
Listening to classical
music makes you feel creative especially while you paint on canvas or on paper.
Some classical compositions also make you do some ballet stances which help you
to be more flexible and reduce stress. Additionally, when you listen to classical
music, it makes you feel confident, happy, and peaceful. Learning more about
classical music is very educational and makes great conversation starters with anyone.
