Finally, here is a fun way for students to learn about composers!!! In this five-part unit, students engage in self-directed research about a composer of their choice to become class experts. They present the information they find in a creative manner and culminate with the creation of a parody of a folk tune based on their composer. This 8 page packet can be printed to hand out to pupils or projected, as you choose. My students loved working on this project and it took my Grade 5 pupils approximately 10 weeks to go from research to performing silly composer songs. Included Activities: Research on composers (using the Internet or other sources) Creative presentation ideas Presenting to the class Composing a Silly Composer Song Performing the Silly Composer Song

Included in this unit is a printable student booklets for music (15 pages) and art (12 pages). Each features historical information, comprehension questions, rubrics for reference and grading, student reflection pages, and colorful photos. Lesson plans spanning 11 weeks are also included. In both art and music, students are asked to complete three projects; an introductory project, a cross-curricular project, and a skills-based project. Both units could easily be expanded time-wise should students require more time in which to work. The focus in music is the work of Mussorgsky and how his music was influenced by the artwork of Victor Hartmann. After listening to some of Mussorgsky’s works, students will learn to play a melody by Mussorgsky and then work towards composing two pieces of music; one based upon a famous piece of art and one based upon art they create in art. The focus in art is on the Impressionist movement. Students are asked to paint an Impressionist interpretation of one of Hartmann’s pieces of art. They are then asked to create their own piece of Impressionism which will be used at the end of the music unit. Finally, students create an Impressionist artwork based upon a song composed by Mussorgsky. This is a great unit for those teacher interested in developing interdisciplinary practice or cross-curricular links in an integrated arts setting. Theoretically, the art and music units could stand alone with minor adjustments, but I would not recommend it as they have been designed to work in tandem.

This is a complete unit that focuses on the links between Art and Music. Students explore the music of Modest Mussorgsky as he was influenced by the artwork of Victor Hartmann in Music and examine Impressionism and the links art has to music in Art. Included in the Music student workbook Brief history and comprehension Listening tasks Performance tasks Composition tasks Reflection exercises Self- and peer-assessments Rubrics Included in the Art student workbook Brief history and comprehension Impressionism based on a given art work Creating a piece of Impressionism Painting to a melody Reflection exercises Self- and peer-assessments Rubrics Included in this pack are student workbooks for art and music, answer keys for both workbooks, lesson plans for 11 classes for both art and music, a suggested unit timeline, and a brief standards document. ** This product is in a compressed (zip) format.

This is such a fun and colorful way to review rhythms for younger pupils! I have included 4 different activities, but you could probably expand the usage to more than that! Activity 1: Sight reading This is a powerpoint with 44 different rhythms using quarter notes and rests, eighth notes, and half notes. Each slide has a rhythm that can be displayed and is also played following a four-beat count-in. Activity 2: Writing Rhythms This activity is designed for pupils who are just beginning to write rhythms. Using the same rhythms as above, there is a printable worksheet that encourages developing 4/4 rhythms. As a bonus, students can perform their rhythms at the end! Activity 3: Cut and Mix Using the colorful owl rhythms, students can cut them out and re-arrange them to create a variety of different activities to support rhythm development. My students have used these cards as flashcards, as a starting point for drumming projects, and self-directed sight-reading, just to name a few! Activity 4: Rhythm Bingo There are 10 different bingo cards (and a blank one if you would prefer to have students write their own rhythms) included in this folder. Additionally, there is a powerpoint included that will play the rhythms for you (or a substitute teacher!) if you would prefer to walk around the classroom to support students. Students have a lot of fun playing rhythm bingo and enjoy the multiple ways to play. I hope that you enjoy practicing rhythms!
