Beethoven text set

 This coming school year my high school freshman will study in depth Ludwig Van Beethoven (part of history) by using Charlotte Mason's Music Study with the Masters. I plan to utilize the following picture books to enrich the study-

Famous Children Beethoven by Ann Rachlin illustrated by Susan Hellard (includes interesting, personal snippets about his life but seems to be disjointed and not well organized) from the library-

Getting to Know the World's Greatest Composers-Ludwig Van Beethoven by Mike Venezia*-interesting facts presented in an entertaining manner  Borrowed from the library *Highly recommend-

Beethoven Lives Upstairs by Barbara Nichol illustrated by Scott Cameron-Lavish illustrations A fictional account told via letters between a boy and his uncle In the letters Christoph expresses his disdain for Beethoven, who is renting their family's upstair rooms. Over time his opinion changes. Readers learn a lot about Beethoven in a different format. It looks like this book was made into a movie. Borrowed from the library.*Highly recommend.-
