Resource Ideas and Inspiration

You can learn all about the resources in this activity pack, benefits, and more from our "Easy Classical Music Appreciation for September" blog post!

Music Appreciation Made Easy!

Do you need engaging print-and-go activities and brain breaks? The music featured in this activity packet is carefully curated and previewed - saving you hours of planning time. Just print and cue the music!

The selections are available on YouTube or your favorite streaming service. There are no wrong answers, and no musical training is required, so add a few to your sub plans, too!

Learning Objectives

• increased knowledge of composers from different backgrounds
• observe seasonal/holiday influences within a composition
• familiarity with the composer's works
• ability to recognize, and engage with, popular pieces of music
• identify different instrument sounds
• social-emotional exploration of feelings and moods within the music
• creative expression by drawing and choosing colors related to a musical theme

Social-Emotional Learning

Listening to classical music has been shown to help with self-awareness, empathy, and self-regulation. Since social-emotional learning is essential for children, incorporating classical music into your classroom or homeschool is a great way to support their development.

Talk about the emotions evoked by the selected music. What does the music make them feel? Happy? Sad? Anxious? Peaceful? Help students identify and label their feelings. Ask open-ended questions about the music and encourage students to share their thoughts and feelings.

Discuss the different instruments used in the piece of music. What does each instrument contribute to the overall sound? Encourage students to make up a story based on the music. What is happening in the story? Who are the characters? Where does it take place?

While listening, students can draw a picture or scene that comes to mind. What colors are used? What shapes? Why?

Do you want to help get your families involved in science? This Science Experiments To Do At Home is perfect for that. This resource contains 10 science experiments and 3 STEM challenges. Each of the activities comes with explicit instructions and requires materials that most people have in their homes. There are 6 different toppers that come in both color and black and white. The experiments can be run off in color or on regular paper. You can use one topper and send home all the activities at once with a few of the materials (there is a shopping list for you). I like to send the science pack with a different topper home three times a year. I put 3 experiments in and 1 STEM challenge each time.
