I wasn't sure if any one would care about these funny little video lesson with composers on popsicle sticks, but they've been the biggest hit on the MakingMusicFun.net channel. The first one, Meet Beethoven, was completed and sat in my video editor for around a year before I decided to share it on YouTube. Since then each one of them has taken off quickly, and we're so happy with how well they have been received. I hope you'll enjoy this composer lesson as well!
