Professor Carol's multi-media kit containing 8 DVDs, 3 audio CDs, and course book (published by Silver Age Music). Discovering Music, a lively and entertaining romp through history, adds a serious study of music and the arts for high-school students, serious middle-school students, and adults who want to expand their understanding of Classical music and the arts. The course covers the period 1600-1914, from the beginning of the Baroque era to World War I. Taught by Professor Carol (13+ hours of video), this curriculum makes history more memorable and provides an understanding of Western Culture essential to success in college. Professor Carol and many other experts tie the history of art and music to political history, math, science, technology, geography, and more. The video includes location footage, interviews with experts in a variety of fields, and musical performances. The course is supported by 3 audio CDs from Naxos containing music relevant to the discussion and a 236-page course book with terminology, chronologies, annotated web links, student projects, listening lists, viewing guides, short quizzes with answer keys, texts and translations.
A teacher's manual is sold separately at www.professorcarol.com and is not a part of this package. Perfect for college prep and suitable for a full credit in humanities or fine arts. Professor Carol Reynolds is a uniquely talented and much sought-after public speaker for arts venues and general audiences.
