Classical Inspirations is a series designed to introduce children to classical music figures - connecting the past to the present, integrating different topics of learning, and offering an opportunity for immersion in another world!


Our first product of the series centres around American composer Amy Beach. Through reading, listening, and completing a range of activities, your child will learn about the composer's life, about the context in which she lived and composed, and about some of her works. The content is designed to be used by independent readers, or with adult assistance. We hope this product will grow with you and your child!

  • "Really great!"

  • "Really interesting!"

  • "Wonderful - the first of its kind that we've experienced and we do a lot of online learning programs!"

  • "We really enjoyed the music and activities!"
