Classroom Music for Little Mozarts: Deluxe Curriculum Kit 1: Book, CD & Accessories

This curriculum arrives ready to teach. Teachers without formal music training gain clear, paced lesson plans alongside a recorded CD, while experienced music educators appreciate how the 10-lesson sequence builds foundational listening and movement skills systematically. The plush character companions transform abstract musical concepts into tangible, memorable experiences that hold young children's attention.

Lively and story-driven. Children enter a world where famous composers become playful characters, songs become adventures, and movement flows naturally from what they hear. The pace feels quick and engaging, never lingering long enough to lose attention, yet never rushing past moments of genuine discovery.

Early childhood teachers in pre-K and kindergarten classrooms who want to offer music instruction but may not have extensive music background. This kit also serves music specialists looking for a structured, research-based sequence that integrates singing, movement, listening, and hands-on learning.

• Play the recorded songs and stories during transitions between lessons to build familiarity and let the melodies reinforce what children learned in the previous activity.
• Introduce each plush character (Mozart Mouse, Beethoven Bear, Clara Schumann-Cat) as a distinct personality with its own musical voice, giving children concrete visual anchors for different styles and periods.
• Pause during listening activities to ask children what they noticed about tempo, volume, or instruments rather than talking through the entire piece.
• Use the reproducible pages in the days following each lesson rather than immediately after, giving children time to consolidate what they experienced before extending it through drawing and creative tasks.

Use this as the foundation of your early childhood music curriculum during the school year, dedicating one lesson every one to two weeks so children can absorb and revisit each activity. The tote bag format makes it portable for classroom visits, special events, or parent education nights where you can demonstrate the program's scope and approach.
