This exceptionally fun memory matching game exposes children to a wealth of information about famous classical composers and their lasting contributions. As a parent, it is quite gratifying to hear youngsters excitedly discussing Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Ravel and numerous other giants of our musical heritage. Maestro Mastery's 104 matching composer cards feature 52 composers, with every card displaying the composer's portrait, country of origin, the musical era in which they were active, and dates of birth and death. One of each pair also contains details about the composer, facts so fascinating they tend to stick with players long after play is over. The color-coded cards make it easy for young kids to group matches by era, an important feature since players with the most matches from a given era are honored alongside the player with the greatest number of overall matches. A music timeline card lists the names and date ranges for each of the eras (Renaissance, Baroque, etc.) and highlights distinguishing characteristics of that era's music, while a large included wall poster allows kids to easily explore all 52 composers!
