Composers Short 1: Listening to Music from Different Cultures

On this episode of The Children’s Hour, we learn all about composers — the people who write music. Have you ever wondered how songs are created? A composer is the person who puts the notes together, making melodies that can be played by singers, choirs, or even a whole orchestra. Some composers lived hundreds of years ago, and their music is still played today. Others are writing brand-new songs right now that teach, entertain, and inspire us.

In this clip, we explore why it is important to listen to and learn from music from many different cultures and communities.
