The Founders of Rock n' Roll

The Romantic Period

We learned that music from the Romantic Period conveys strong emotions, and oftentimes, tells a story. We listened to the music of Tchaikovsky, Paganini (composer of some of the most difficult works for the violin), and Mendelssohn.

Baroque and Classical Musicians

I am currently teaching an after school painting class on Tuesday evenings 3:30-5pm. In this class students learn about different music genres, and they learn how to use painting skills in order to create portraits of the musical masters. In the past two weeks, the students have learned about Baroque and Classical musicians. Do you recognize the musicians in the following portraits?
