Explore the solar system without leaving the classroom! Listen to an animal-themed carnival by Camille Saint-Saëns. Experience all four seasons and become familiar with Vivaldi's most popular suite. At the end of the year, wind down and settle in with the music of Tchaikovsky's world-renowned "The Nutcracker!" 

Learning Objectives

The heart of these resources is the listening activities where student groups listen to the piece together and note their observations. These open-ended activities allow students to compare notes, ask questions, discuss different parts of the work, and improve their listening skills.

The Planets by Gustav Holst Classical Music Listening Activities Packet

"My students LOVED being able to use this while listening to and learning about The Planets! They loved being able to draw their own scenes whilst listening!!" - Music with Maarika

Children are fascinated by the solar system, so it's no wonder that they enjoy classical music with a space theme! "The Planets" by Gustav Holst is a great place to start. This packet contains a set of listening activities to introduce children to the orchestration and harmony of Gustav Holst's "The Planets!"

Listening Sheet - There are no wrong answers! Students can note how they feel and what they imagine while listening to a selected piece of music. Choose from the musical instruments, nature scenes, colors, and more.

Weather & Feelings - Weather is a recurring theme in classical music. Does a musical piece remind the listener of a snowy day or cheerful sunny afternoon? Students can select the weather symbols that come to mind. Is the music happy or sad? A set of emotional characters allows your group to pick the feelings that best relate to a piece of music.

Emoji Checkboxes - Students can use checkboxes to note how they feel and what they imagine while listening to a selected piece of music. Choose from the musical instruments, nature scenes, colors, and more!

Color a Carnival - Which carnival rides and activities best fit a piece of music? Does the tempo feel like a roller coaster or a peaceful swing ride in the sky? Choose a tasty treat from the snack bar, then stop at the prize booth before finishing. There are no wrong answers!

Listen and Color - There's plenty of space for drawing, coloring, or journaling! Students can decorate the box in their own music-inspired way while choosing creative keywords that best describe their listening experience.
