Love Songs Music Listening

Six short music listening activities for the month of February designed for grades 5-8, and a perfect music lesson for Valentine's day.

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

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.

-SOUND FILES ARE NOT INCLUDED, however there is a link to a SafeShare video for each piece.

This month's pieces are:

-Someone to Watch Over Me, George & Ira Gershwin (Sung by Ella Fitzgerald)

-What a Wonderful World, Louis Armstrong

-Can't Help Falling in Love, Elvis Presley

-My Funny Valentine, from Babes in Arms (Sung by Etta James)

-Ave Maria, Franz Schubert

-All of Me, John Legend

Musical genre of the month: Jazz

Element of music of the month: Vocal Timbre

The worksheets and slides are designed to have two short answer

questions and one complete sentence answer. 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.

Happy Listening!
