Meet the Composers
My Grandson is 9 yrs old and is enjoying the Squilt series Meet the Composers as his first music appreciation class. He said " I like the music it makes me feel good and the composers are very interesting".

Listening Calendar
The listening calendar has been a simple fun addition to our day. It has sparked fun and thoughtful conversations some laughter, and the longer we go with it the more musical and instrument recognition my kids have gained. I also personally look forward to the songs each day! It has expanded all of our worlds.

My kids and I truly enjoy the listening calendar! I have 13 to 4 year old students and they all love it. Matter fact, it's the one subject we do every day.

Unbelievable
We aren't a musically inclined family, but since we've started SQUILT, my kids fight over who gets to watch it first! (In a good way). They are mesmerized by the visual of instruments and selected slide shows, so to speak. It has certainly increased our music discussions. I didn't know how to tap into music, and the calendar has really helped. Thanks!
