We’ve studied Bach this term. It was almost a disaster when I couldn’t find any Bach CDs in our “small” town of 4 million. But Amazon to rescue! I’ve discovered that you can download entire music albums from Amazon for the same price as purchasing one! (Granted, it should be a tad cheaper, but I’m just glad to get instant music.) That really saved our composer study. I mean, how can you study music without listening to music? Rather absurd. I had books and audio with narration interspersed among snippets of music, but not one CD of just Bach’s music. At any rate, the composer study has been saved, and we’re enjoying just listening to the music as we do other things.
I’ve gathered all our resources — books, printables, and audio — at Bach Composer Study.

One thing that we have done with our composer studies, (as we too are overseas) is to use the YouTube links that many on the AO group have listed. Are you able to access sites like grooveshark.com or any of the classical sites listed on AO website?
Thanks for a great site, you really inspire me!
YouTube is currently blocked in China. I’m not familiar with grooveshark. Thanks for the tip.
