Cover Song Comparison Elements of Music Analysis Intro Lessons and Project for Middle School - Printable PDF Packet and Google Slides™ product for Distance Learning
This musical assignment will be sure to engage your students! This resource includes both a ready-to-print package AND a Google slides version of the intro lesson and project. Students will be asked to compare and contrast two versions of the same song (the original version and a cover version) by describing the musical elements, mood, and lyrics.
Intro Lesson:
- 'What Is a Cover Song?' student note
- Listening Activity: comparing 3 song examples using the elements of music (3 graphic organizers available)
Cover Song Comparison Project
Students will be asked to:
- Brainstorm songs that have been covered by other artists
- Choose 1 song from their brainstorm to conduct an in-depth analysis of the elements of music, as well as reflect, compare and contrast how the two versions are the same and different from one another
- Complete a written component, where students will explain which version they prefer, what the song makes them think of, and why they chose that specific song
- Create cover art to express the music they hear through a visual representation
- A rubric for assessment, with a success criteria checklist that students can refer too while completing the assignment and before they submit.
This assignment is a great way for students to choose a song of their choice and analyze how musical elements can change the mood and intention of the same song.
