This is a zip file containing a PDF and PPT presentation for 25 musical examples spanning the baroque period to now. For each composer/arranger/group you will find a biography, information about the piece they created, and links to YouTube videos of examples of the songs.
Disclaimer: I recommend this activity for grades 4 and up, even high school students. Be aware that this product is for many grade levels. What is appropriate for some grades may not be for others. Although I feel like I've picked examples that aren't too scary, I highly recommend that you screen the videos prior to showing in class.
