with the 6th graders. we're doing research on composers who wrote an abundance of music for the keyboard.
Chopin is one of them. Can you name some others?

good answer, but not one of the ones we are researching.
Chick Corea is another in that category

Are you looking for modern day composers, keltic?
Would Howard Jones be in that category? (or are you pointing and laughing at me right now?)

It's like that PM from last week - it was either Handel or Bach. And I always guess the wrong name. 
Franz Liszt.

these are 6th graders, so I'm giving them the traditional, classical composers. I might let them research more contemporary composers at a higher grade level.
