Auld Lang Syne

This is a perfect lesson for the first week back in the New Year. It is adaptable for Grades 3-8 general music, Junior High Choir or High School Choir. This resource contains information on the history of this song, lyrics, free downloadable piano music, free 4 part vocal score, and videos of performances in many styles. Videos are provided in both YouTube and commercial free video.link. For those unable to sing in 2021, there is a Venn diagram for students to compare and contrast the various styles of performances. For older students, there is a NPR video reflecting on why the lessons of 2020 should NOT be forgotten. This would be a great discussion of writing prompt.
