Nothing sets the mood for Halloween like a good, spooky piece of music! Luckily there are lots of descriptive pieces--many by famous classical composers--that are often associated with Halloween. Take advantage of these spooky pieces to do a few listening activities with your students this month! You can use these pieces to learn about storytelling through music, introduce students to a variety of musical instruments, review dynamics and music vocabulary, listen for musical themes and form, and more. Keep reading for a few fun listening activities (including some really cool YouTube videos!) to use with your students as Halloween approaches... Today's freebie is also a hint at January's "Musicianship Monthly" skill! This worksheet will have students of all ages quickly building and playing major and minor pentascales in any key. Click HERE or on the picture to download your free pentascale practice worksheet....and don't forget to check back to see what musicianship skill we will be covering in January! Any guesses? |
