Do you ever listen to a piece of music and think that you know where you heard it before? That's a question that students in 4th and 5th grade have been asking as we learn more about composer of the month, Antonin Dvorak. Dvorak's music has been used in many movies and TV shows. But it also inspired many other composers to write music that sounds very similar. Check out the links below and see what you think.
