About this listen
- Elgar was not just a composer: he was also an amateur chemist!
- Elgar was the first composer to champion recorded music
- Elgar loved cycling, and had a bicycle called ‘Mr. Phoebus’
- Elgar came to hate his most famous work
Classical Giants brings to life the most famous composers in history, introducing them to children as real characters who lived and breathed on a real historical timeline.
Take your child on a journey of discovery to learn, what this pioneering composer of the Victorian age was like as a person, what made him tick: what he loved (and what he did not!); what were the events that shaped his world; what was important to him, what influenced him and what inspired him to create his greatest masterpieces.
“This brilliantly entertaining and informative addition to children’s non-fiction contains a myriad of cross-curricular learning opportunities for the classroom and beyond. English, Music, History, Art, Maths and Science can be taught through this book making it ideal as the beating heart of an exciting and creative Topic web of learning activities. Useful for assemblies too and Social and Emotional learning, adults will enjoy it just as much as children.”
Kathryn Creed, retired Assistant Headteacher and Independent Schools Inspectorate Team Inspector.
The series is complemented by a website full of further information and ideas on how the books can be used in the classroom, at www.classicalgiants.com.
