This activity is great for the end or beginning of the school year!

Check out the preview file to see all presentation slides and follow-along worksheet options! Please note that the preview might be grainy due to file constraints. Once downloaded, the presentation is in a crisp, HD quality.

This is a zip file containing a PDF and PPT presentation for 5 musical examples. For each composer/arranger you will find a biography, information about the piece they created, and links to YouTube videos (SafeShareTV Links) of examples of the songs.

Listening Examples:

• Antonio Vivaldi - The Four Seasons, "Summer"
• Felix Mendelssohn - A Midsummer Night's Dream - "Overture", "Scherzo", and "Wedding March"
• Hugo Alfvén - Swedish Symphony No. 1 "Midsummer Vigil"
• Frederick Delius - A Song of Summer
• William Grant Still - Three Visions, "Summerland"

There are also two versions of worksheets to enjoy:

• Matching (composer/performer to musical selection)
• Ratings (with composer and piece filled in)

Editable PowerPoint worksheet file available which includes the following:

• Editable matching worksheet
• Editable ratings/comments worksheet

Page with YouTube links for examples have also been included. This allows you to use YouTube if SafeShare is blocked by your school or district, or you could also use my examples to plug into the safe browser of your choice.

****Links to musical selections are only found on the "Let's Listen" slides. You must be in slideshow mode for the links to work in PowerPoint, and there is a different link for every musical example embed within each line of text.****

SAFESHARETV INFORMATION

SafeShareTV takes YouTube links and eliminates the distractions of related videos, autoplay, and best of all, NO ADS! This is why some sort of safe-viewer is recommended in the classroom. I have also made sure to edit the videos to crop out any unnecessary beginning time (like applause) so you get right to the music after clicking the link.

Please make sure your district does not block YouTube or SafeShareTV before attempting to access the video links in your classroom. Please note that the download does not contain actual video and audio files. All videos are internet-based. Links are only on the "Let's Listen" pages. Although they are not underlined, they do have transparent boxes placed over them with hyperlinks to the listening example. If you are using PowerPoint, you must be in presentation/slideshow mode for the listening examples to be clickable.

To see if your institution allows SafeShareTV, (from your institution's technology) click the link below to test the connection.

If your institution happens to block SafeShareTV and you would like to still access the videos, SafeShareTV does have a download option available. To do this, you would still need to access the link from a location where SafeShareTV is not blocked.
