Five Minutes To Music History

From Shawnee Press

by Rick Weymuth

Here is a fun, creative resource to help your students understand and appreciate music history. This budget-stretching book is filled with important facts, games, quizzes, worksheets, timelines, what was happening in America during each era, and more - all completely reproducible and designed so students can learn key dates, people, and places in a "Ready, Set, Go" format. The Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras will really come alive for your students. At the end of each section are reproducible examples of choral works from each era. Whether you devote only five minutes or a full class to the material, you can adapt this book to your unique teaching situation over a semester or an entire academic year. (Grades 4-8)
