Modest Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition Composer Unit

Your upper elementary students will love this unit! I have taught this suite of songs to my students for 6 years, and each year, they amaze me with the profound ideas that the share with each other!

Included in this product is a 6-week lesson outline, PowerPoint of Hartman's paintings that inspired Mussorgsky's songs, the story of Baba Yaga, a 2-page listening quiz for the end of the unit, and an additional activity for students to create their own paintings based on the music.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions on how to begin this lesson or activities that you can do with your students using the materials!
