One area of particular interest for me is folk songs from different countries. Especially when I’m putting together the Piano Expeditions piano camp curriculum, I enjoy trying to find folk songs from the country we’re “visiting” and see if they can be adapted for use in our week of piano camp. I was recently checking out some of the resources available on the Hoffman Academy website and discovered that they have a collection of free piano arrangements of a number of folk songs, some from places I’ve never even heard of (Assamese Folk Song, anyone??).
Since this year’s piano camp will be focused on Vivaldi and His Four Seasons, I was excited to find 5 free piano arrangements of his famous theme from “Spring.” The website also has an article that gives an overview of classical music and includes a helpful list of some of the more famous classical pieces with quick links to YouTube videos. Could be a great reference page to send to families looking for a suggested classical music listening list for their kids!
