Music is an aural art. Development of listening skills is essential for a child to be successful in any subject-but crucial for musicianship.
This listening kit by Denise Gagne provides an age-appropriate tool toward this end.
This basic program provides:
- listening logs, response journal starter, instrument worksheets, composer bios with worksheets.
- A complete set of classroom activities for the short listening examples on audio
- A full set of non-directed intercom listening scripts to implement a total school program, but these could also be used in the music classroom as a daily listening exercise.
- Correlates with Music play by Denise Gagne and additional reference to the Composers Specials videos is a bonus.
- Each kit consists of a reproducible book, digital book PDF, and audio MP3s of the listening selections.
Level 3 Kit covers all the periods of music, gives rhythm instrument play-along hints, suggests cup games (tapping, passing, etc.), introduces instruments and their families, demonstrates ABA, AABB, Rondo, and Theme & Variations forms, teaches fast/slow, loud/soft, melodic direction, phrasing, and staccato/legato concepts. There are also worksheets, maps and rhythm scores. Major composers include: Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Johann Strauss Jr. and more.
