"My students studied Edvard Grieg as our Composer of the Month, and this resource gave great guidance for students as they listened to the piece of music. I only had to do a little explaining and they were off! Thanks for a great resource!" - Maggie N.

Introduce students to the music of Edvard Grieg!

If you prefer a composer study with handwriting and vocabulary practice for younger grades, you can find an additional version here: Grieg Composer Study

Composer Fact Sheet - From the composer's birthplace to the instruments they've studied, this one page reference sheet will make a great handout for your students.

Birthplace Guide - Add in some geographical research to discover more about where the composer was born! This page includes space for writing the capital, language, and even a popular food.

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 a 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.
