Music for the soul

I've been struggling to decide what to teach as far as music goes and stumbled across this site with a great list of the most popular classical music! I plan on taking one song per week and doing a lot of listening as well as study the composer. I also love Beethoven's Wig! It is classical music with funny lyrics that make it easy for kids to remember the songs and composers. I've checked the cd's out from the library but the website has a lot of the songs available to listen to online.
