Description
This free 7-day sample from the Composer of the Day series is designed to support cross-curricular learning through daily, accessible reading comprehension and listening activities.

- Five comprehension questions targeting key reading skills (retrieval, inference, vocabulary, summarising, explanation)
- Suggested answers
- QR code linking directly to musical examples via musicoftheday.co.uk
Includes composers such as:
Johannes Brahms | Kurt Cobain | Ravi Shankar | Florence Price | Nino Rota | Cécile Chaminade | Olivier Messiaen
Ideal for use as:
