- Google Drive™ folder
What educators are saying
Description
If you are turning to listening lessons with your students this is a must have!
If you want to ensure your students are listening to a diverse set of composers and musicians, this set is for you. This spreadsheet has 32 weeks of selected musicians, composers and groups for Kindergarten - 5th grade (192 musicians/composers total) that represent a variety of cultures and genres.
Includes name, the category they were selected for (although they may be long to more than one), country they were born in, dates of birth and if applicable, death, a YouTube listening link as well as a matching link for Video.link.
This resource was made with inclusivity in mind. The idea is that students hear more than traditional selections, so there are two selections of the following categories for each grade:
Latin America
African American
Women
Asia
Film Composer
American Composer
Jazz/Blues
YouTube
European Classical
Bluegrass/Folk
Band Music
Choral Music
LGTBQ
Broadway
Each grade also has two selections that vary including Rock, Spirituals, Australian Composer, Piano music, Motown, Big Band, African Composer, Hip Hop, Pop culture, Gospel, American Crooner, Opera, Men's Choir, Aboriginal Music.
This also includes a projectable "Listening Selection of the Week" slide for each name. This portion is a PDF. There is not a link on this file to allow for quick updates if a link is removed from YouTube.
Get these free editable posters with pictures to go along with the set!
This list is meant to be a jumping off point to start your lessons and can not include everyone. There is so much good music!! The reason for categorization is to ensure that multiple groups are covered. Composers and musicians on this list belong to more than one category.
