November's Composer of the Month

This month's composer is Antonio Vivaldi! Here's some fun facts that your kid can tell you more about: Vivaldi was born in Italy over 300 years ago, he was the oldest of 9 children, due to his bad asthma he couldn't play outside as a child so instead he learned to play the violin, "The Red Priest" was his nickname since he was a Catholic priest with fiery red hair (although he normally wore a wig), he died a poor person after selling all of his belongings in order to travel to a new job.
His composition we've been studying is The Four Seasons which is separated into four movements (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter). With each season we've worked on a corresponding Tree Worksheet which allows students to write and draw about what the music makes them feel, think, and hear.
