Blast Off into a Classical Musical Space Adventure with "The Planets" Activities
By Agee and Row Classical Music Appreciation
"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 example of such a piece and it also represents an important era in classical music history when composers were writing symphonies based on nature and science.
This packet contains a set of listening activities to introduce children to the orchestration and harmony of Gustav Holst's "The Planets!"
► See the FULL PREVIEW for an inside look! Please feel free to ask any questions below.
Why is "The Planets" important?
"The Planets" is one of the most famous pieces of classical music ever composed. It is a seven-movement orchestral suite composed by Gustav Holst from 1914 to 1916. Holst's composition was inspired by space, and each movement represents a planet in our solar system. Later additions by Leonard Bernstein and Jun Nagao are also included.

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.

Emoji Checkboxes - Students can use the 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!

Looking for a way to have some fun while learning music? Look no further. This Graphic Scores Unit will have your students exploring how to represent sound using graphics and composing in no time! There are 3 main lessons included in this unit, however, the last lesson will likely take 6-8 lessons to put together and perform. This unit is one I have used with my own students so I know how much fun they have with it! The great thing with graphic scores is you don't really need any instruments to compose which makes this unit even better if you're teaching music on a cart or have limited resources available.
Overview:
This graphic score short unit exposes students to what a graphic score is. They get to represent sound using graphics and compose their own graphic score using found sounds. Students will learn how sound and music can be represented using graphics. They will practice representing a short piece of music through graphics. After, they will represent common soundscapes using their own graphics and will then create their own graphic score to perform. I created this in Google Docs/Slides so that you can customize this unit to your own unique needs.

The Throne Room/End Credits, Star Wars (with mp3!) - BUCKET DRUMMING!
By Jason Litt
A departure from our typical popular music fare, we now offer you "The Throne Room/End Credits" from John Williams' Star Wars franchise covered by famous YouTuber 331ERock!
There are five color coded slides along with the form and instrumental identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students (a great way to talk about the variations of the theme with inclusion or exclusions of certain instrument groupings) and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats. Then, apply it to drums!
All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)
This one is great to work on off beats and extensions of themes. It switches around a lot so it is sure to keep your kids engaged :)
Great resource to prepare for if.... May the Fourth is coming up!
The track is included in this resource for you to play right along!

The Greatest Show, (from The Greatest Showman) - ADVANCED BUCKET DRUMMING!
By Jason Litt
A film music favorite from one of the all-time greatest movies of the 21st century makes its way to BUCKET DRUMMING with an arrangement from the opening title sequence to the movie The Greatest Showman with "The Greatest Show"
There are six all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 2, 3, 4, or 6 times). Then, apply it to drums!
All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)
Here's the track so you can play along...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyVYXRD1Ans
Lots of repeated sixteenths and eights in this one, and albeit a slower tempo, it can definitely give your kids a challenge -- but needless to say, if you know a bit about this soundtrack, this will ultimately have your kids engaged!
Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!

Identify Form in Pop Music - Part TWO!
By Jason Litt
The #1 selling "Identify Form in Pop Music!" has multiple follow versions! In addition to the Original Version, you can download Part THREE (2015), Part FOUR (2017), Part FIVE (2018) Part SIX (2019) and Part SEVEN (2021) below:
Identify Form in Pop Music PART THREE
Identify Form in Pop Music PART FOUR
Identify Form in Pop Music PART FIVE
Identify Form in Pop Music PART SIX
Identify Form in Pop Music PART SEVEN
________________________________________
Redone and remodeled from the beginning to end with more colorful layouts and updated music, the 2014 follow-up to the #1 selling "Identify Form in Pop Music"... here's part TWO!
Kids love their pop music, right? Want to integrate it into your classroom? This is great lesson to do with 4th and 5th graders that lets them listen to their favorite pop music while learning about musical form!
The lesson begins with a video introduction to form and then talks about elements of pop music and how it ascribes to a specific form. We talk about the intro, verse, chorus, bridge, and outro, and include (different from the 2013 version) the collision and the channel and then go onto our activity.
I cut out cards... a whole bunch of intros, verses, chorus, bridges, outros, channels, and collisons (or you can do it with a whiteboard/marker, or even as a unison class response) and give them to each student, then have have the kids sit on the floor. I then play an mp3 of a song which has 10 second clips of each of the sections (there is about a 2 second gap in between each clip and all clips are safe for little ears -- no profanity!) and have the students identify them by spelling them out on the floor in front of them
A great compromise to having your kids listen to their music and still satisfy a 4th and 5th grade standard in identifying the structure of music!
The 2014 hit list:
Best Day of My Life - American Authors
Burn - Ellie Goulding
Neon Lights - Demi Lovato
Let it Go - Idina Menzel (this will SURELY get your class sold!)
Happy - Pharrell Williams
Counting Stars - OneRepublic
Pompeii - Bastille
Light 'em Up - Fall Out Boy

Musical Selections (Eight listening activity pages per piece)
William Tell Overture, Rossini - SUPER ADVANCED BUCKET DRUMMING!
By Jason Litt
The most difficult (and longest!) bucket drumming repertoire has hit Mr. Litt's Music Room in the infamous William Tell Overture by Gioachino Rossini! Super super difficult, super super engaging, but so rewarding if done well! You could even use this as a concert piece
There are seven all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 2 or 3 times). Then, apply it to drums!
This is a terrific activity to discuss with the kids with the inclusion of classic music, modern drumming, and identifying form. Perhaps use this video as a precursor?
Finale to the William Tell Overture - Full Form
All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)
Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!
