My kids and I love the Amy Steedman bios of painters. Are there any similar resources for composers?

Hello!
I am not familiar with Amy Steedman but we have enjoyed composer biographies by Opal Wheeler.

Take care,
Kelly

We love the Opal Wheeler biographies here too! There are also biographies by Thomas Tapper that are simpler and shorter--you can read them for free here.

Fantastic! Thanks for the Wheeler recommendations. And I had never heard of Steedman's painter bios. More books for the list!

Thank you Celeste! I had read a page or two of one of Thomas Tappers' books a couple years ago and was just thinking about it a couple days ago. I had NO idea where to start looking as I couldn't remember the author's name or the tittles. Have save these and am excited to share them with the boys. :)
