DISCLAIMER: Preview all lyrics and music videos before buying to decide if they are appropriate for your students. Encourage students to display their maturity and listen to music through an analytical lens. After these activities, students will never listen to music the same as they make a habit of interpreting the deeper meaning behind seemingly superficial words and themes. This is what creates life-long learners.
