Composer Collections.

I love immersing my students of all ages in Masterworks of music history. I was inspired to create some supporting resources which gives the students some background context in hopefully, an engaging way.

My students have loved these Composer Packs and I hope that yours will too.

 

You will find 2 biography pages, information on form and melodic contour in music, a melodic contour activity, drawing activity, a word search, a “Let’s make an Opera” activity and a guided listening journal with reproducible pages. There is also a recommended listening list for teachers.

 

 

 You will find 3 biography pages, a word search, information on dynamics in music, a dynamics coloring activity, 4 “Be the composer” activities and a guided listening journal with reproducible pages . 

 You will find a biography page, a word search, information on the Baroque era, information on the string family, a 4 seasons stimulus for each season with excerpts from the original poems which Vivaldi used as the inspiration for the composition, a guided listening journal with reproducible pages. .

Recommended works by Vivaldi to play to your students are:

The Four Seasons RV 269
Gloria RV 589
Guitar Concerto In D Major (Lute Concert, RV 93)
Piccolo Concerto In C Major, RV 443
