Choose a composer from the lists found on one of these sites:

CLASSICS for KIDS--visit the MORE ABOUT MUSIC=>HEAR THE MUSIC and COMPOSER tabs. There is a lot of information about each composer, and there are also some podcasts about the composers and their music.

SFSkids.com--visit the radio link and listen to different composers' works
DSOkids.com-- visit the  Listen & By Composer tab. Also, the Time Machine game is interesting!

You may NOT choose Beethoven, Mozart, or Tchaikovsky (we will be learning about them in class).   

Additionally, please focus on a classical composer from an era in history (not jazz composers like Duke Ellington or movie composers like John Williams, Klaus Badelt, Hans Zimmer...).

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Use an encyclopedia, Nettrekker, Google, Bing, yahooligans, previous ASO Study Guides, Media Center sources, and other (books, biographies, magazine articles…) to find sources for your research. Don’t use “internet”, Wikipedia, Ask.com, “my mom”, etc. At least one non-internet resource is preferred. Ask Mr. Jackson if you need help!

Search tip: in your search engine use the composer's name + "kids", which will bring up kid-friendly resources. 

 As we did in December, I will accept videos, podcasts, narratives, skits, performances, puppet shows, sculptures, paintings, scrapbooks, poems, posters, news articles….whichever way you choose! You may send me a link to your work (via youtube, dropbox, vimeo, etc), it can be sent in on a jump drive, CD, hard copy, or live performance. 

ASO Field Trip!  The listening skills you'll learn will connect to our upcoming field trip to hear the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in February (the concert will focus on the music of Tchaikovsky).  The ASO Field Trip permission form is HERE (link coming soon), and our ASO payment deadline is Friday, January 25th, so please send in the permission and payment (or pay online at “Pay School Fees Online” from the SPARK website) asap!
