Who Was Michael Jackson?

Charlie has loved Michael Jackson’s music since Charlie was Charlie 2 years old. We began Homeschooling Charlie I knew Charlie would need to take would be a Music class.

I thought about what I wanted to teach Charlie in Music. I came to the conclusion that I could combine music and reading together by letting Charlie study musicians he likes. Including Michael Jackson while using books like Who Was Michael Jackson?


Michael Jackson is the first Musician we will be studying and not only will we be reading Who Was Michael Jackson?Charlie will use the resources at the end of this post to further his studies.

Born in Gary, Indiana, on August 29, 1958, Michael Jackson was definitely not a regular kid. A superstar with The Jackson 5 before he was eight years old, he became the King of Pop as a solo artist.

Michael was a creative–yet deeply troubled–genius who always remained devoted to his art right up until his death in 2009 before a much anticipated tour.

He had a pitch-perfect voice and footwork that his idol Fred Astaire admired. Who will ever forget the Moonwalk? Kids today who only know Jackson through video performances are nevertheless fascinated by him. Megan Stine provides a sensitive, fair-minded depiction of this unique music legend.
