"My students loved creating their "Music Superheroes!" while we listened to superhero theme songs! They really enjoyed listening to the classical pieces chosen and were excited to find pieces they had heard before in class." - Music with Mrs. Kennedy

Build a Classical Superhero! Each activity uses the students initial(s) to decode a music-inspired name, instrument, and theme song. Great for a back to school, mini class activity, or a music center.

The objective is to assemble a variety of musical qualities for the hero. Each superhero will have a different story, briefly told through their theme song and other choices. Creative writing or storytelling is encouraged.

Full-color pages for music centers/activities are included, with a variety of design and color options provided. The black & white version is also included.

What's Inside:

• Instruction Page An easy to follow guide of how to build a superhero is provided.
• Superhero Name Generator - Students use their first and last initials to generate a unique hero name. There are two choices per box to choose from - which adds variety if a student has the same first & last initials. The names are from classical composers and are not gender specific.
• Superhero Instrument Sounds - Will their superhero arrive with a loud trumpet blast or a soothing violin? The first letter of their name will lead them to the answer.
• Find Your Superhero Theme! - Every hero needs a theme, and a musical superhero is no exception. Each letter is associated with a popular classical music piece; making their themes easier to identify. A superhero theme will range from Bach'shauntingly beautiful "Toccata and Fugue" to the inspiring "Morning Mood" by Grieg.
• Meet Your Classical Superhero! - All of the activities come together here - students can choose between two characters as their heroes to name and color. The additional character can be their partner or sidekick. After their instrument and theme song have been filled in, students can use the checkbox to choose which musical era they are from.
