🎵 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Composer cards work best when paired with actual music listening. Instead of memorizing names in isolation, play a Mozart piece during work time, then casually place Mozart's card near the music player. Over weeks and months, children naturally connect the sound of Mozart with his face and name. This builds genuine music appreciation rather than rote memorization. Older children enjoy creating timelines showing which composers lived simultaneously or researching specific works like Beethoven's symphonies or Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
