A Little Night Music Listening

This lesson includes six short music listening activities designed for grades 5-8.

These listening lessons are meant as six mini-lessons, lasting approx. 10 minutes each. They can also be combined for a longer listening lesson, and would be great for a sub.

The worksheets and slides are designed to have two short answer questions and one complete sentence answer (always #3.) I encourage students to spend the most time on question number three as a way of internalizing each piece. It is my hope that they will create a personal connection with the music and a lasting memory. Please download the preview for a closer look.

Product includes:

*EDITABLE PowerPoint presentation including a title page, short composer or song biography, and three questions for each piece. (Blank slides are also included)

*PDF copy of PowerPoint presentation

*Teacher's guide with answers and extensions.

*Blank student worksheets for completing listening activity.

*Interactive journal templates and directions

*SOUND FILES ARE NOT INCLUDED, however there is a link to a Safe Share video for each piece.
