Music Journals
This is a really fun way to open your students up to new music or to critically thinking about music they already have heard. Use this as a bell ringer, a weekly listening activity for a choral or instrumental class, or use it for a semester music survey/history class. I think that these can be used for middle school or high school. Middle school students will definitely need more support along the way. Please always watch/listen to the songs first to make sure they are the censored version.

Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Music Curriculum
