Why You’ll Love Zeezok Music Appreciation for Elementary Students (with a giveaway!)
I have looked at the Zeezok Music Appreciation series from afar for many years but have never had the opportunity to see it up close or use it in our family. I was so excited last week to find out that the Zeezok company is offering a Music Appreciation Book 1 for the Elementary Grades (the whole set!) for a giveaway for Music in Our Homeschool readers. I’ll also be receiving a set which will be reviewed here at the site after I use it with my children in the next few weeks.
Here is what is included in the Zeezok Music Appreciation Book 1 for the Elementary Grades:
- 7 Biographies of Composers by Opal Wheeler (Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydyn, Beethoven, Paganini, and Schubert)
- 5 CDs
- Activity Book
- CD-Rom with Lapbook materials
Activities are not Just Music Based:
I’ve only seen the samples of the activity book so far, but it looks like so much fun. There are activities for the following subjects that relate to the composer being studied:
- Science
- History
- Geography
- Copywork
- Art
- Literature
- Recipes
- Character Qualities
The Music to Listen to is Included on the CDs:
I’m really looking forward to popping these into the car while we’re driving around town, as well as loading them on my phone so we can listen to them anywhere.
High Quality Professional Graphics and Layout in the Activity Book:
This activity book isn’t a typical “made-by-homeschooler” type of product. (Now, I’m not knocking those too much. I create those myself!) But I do love a professionally-produced product every now and then. And this is certainly one of those. Just check out the samples!

Lapbook Templates Included:
I have one child in particular who LOVES lapbooks, so she is really excited to do these. We plan to do the Schubert lapbook.
See examples of the other Lapbooks here.

Our first introduction to Zeezook Music was their Fran Schubert book. It was fantastic & we learned so much. I highly recommend this series.

The fact of instilling appreciation of music into kids.

I like how there are so many activities that go along with learning the composers.

I love the way this program tells the story of great musicians and their music
I love the fact that children get to connect with the musician and their music!

I’m excited about the variety of hands-on activities, such as history, geography, etc.

I have had my eye on this since the Crew reviewed it! I’d really love to use it in our homeschool.
Michelle says
I appreciate the biographies and love the idea of using these across the curriculum!
Ellen says
This looks like a nice all-in-one resource for music appreciation. That’s exactly why we aren’t already doing it in our homeschool (other than just piano lessons)–because it’s too hard for me to put together.
Wendy W says
This looks like a great addition to our homeschooling activities!
Amy says
I would love to have their biographies. I’ve heard so much about them!
Ashley Miller says
I am intrigued by this set because I have been wanting to check them out for quite awhile. We have one of the books already and the others are on my list. The wise Carol Joy Seid highly recommends them. My 6 concern and I definitely need to add music appreciation to our school schedule.
Kathy says
Would love to win this as I have no clue how to teach anything music related!
Mindy H says
It is all done for you! I am not very knowledgeable with music in any form so this looks great for us.

I have looked at this curriculum before and it looks amazing! I love how it is cross-curricular and includes activities for other subjects as well.

I’m excited about the historical aspect so we can use this for more than one subject.
Judith Martinez says
I really like that it is all inclusive so I don’t have to go hunting for anything in order to use it.
