Brahms, Classical music study

I got some great ideas for music study from various homeschooling blogs. I liked the idea of just listing to a certain composer for several weeks until everyone understood the style of music and or could recognize a few songs.  We read a great book on Brahms which I got from the Montgomery county library along with a CD of Brahms.  Unfortunately the CD was due before we really got into the study.  I clicked watch later on several You Tube selections, but either they weren't working properly or my Internet connection is crappy, or both.  So I was pleasantly surprised that I could get 100" Brahms - 100 Supreme Classical Masterpieces: Rise of the Masters""songs at Amazon MP3 downloaded to my computer and my Samsung Galaxy Tab for 1.99.  Now I put on some songs during spelling, easy math review or other simple task times.  I tell the kids who the composer is and the name of the song.  Enjoyable.
