Classical Music Activities | Summer SEL Listening with 70 Bonus Posters

By Agee and Row Classical Music Appreciation

"My students loved being able to print off the listening guides to fill in while they listened to a piece of music! Visually, the guides are set up well and are fun and attractive to the kids!" - Kristin Z.

What are the benefits of this bundle?

  • Save time! The classical music selections are pre-selected for you.
  • These low-prep activities are great for winding down the school year.
  • Add music appreciation to your summer send-home packets.
  • Easily find the music on YouTube or your favorite music services.
  • Engaging and mindful activities for students (and their families!)
  • No musical training is required - just print and play!

What's Inside?

This low-prep packet includes a resource guide, star-rating guides, and two different listening pages per piece! Students pair a listening activity with the music and begin noting their feelings, ideas, and more. There are lots of keywords to choose from, instruments to identify, and plenty of room for creativity. Discuss and display for further engagement.

What is the Easel Activity?

Students use the highlight tool to choose from keyword lists that describe their listening experience. An answer box allows students to type a brief description of their thoughts and feelings. Using the pen or any design tool provided, students can decorate a scene or upload an image to the frame!

This resource bundle is great for:

  • Distance learning
  • Independent work
  • Homework
  • Guided reading sessions
  • Assessment practice
  • Reading interventions

These activities are online resources, that use Google Forms, and are linked to your Google Drive. They can be completed by students online using tablets, phones or computers, and are easily assessed by teachers as all the answers are provided in a quick and easy format.

Time allowance to complete each activity:

5-10 minutes - read through the text individually.

40-50 minutes - answer questions using the text as guidance (including extension activity)

Time allowance to assess:

A class set of activities might take around 15-20 minutes to mark; the teacher can then send the students their marks automatically, which allows them to read back through their work. Nearly all answers are not automatically generated, but only require a small amount of work to assign points. This is because the aim is to get students writing answers and not to just have multiple choice options.

Please ensure when you download this resource into Google Drive that you are logged in to the gmail account where you wish to store the activity. In the past teachers have downloaded resources into their school account in error. Thanks :)
