Listen: Learning to Love Classical Music – Listening Workbook Vol. 1

This guided listening log aims to help students listen to and appreciate classical music. Students will listen to a curated playlist of ten pieces from classical literature. For each piece, this book includes biographical information about the composer and background information about the music. As students listen they fill in listening prompts, including which performer they listened to, the date they listened, how they would describe the piece, what they liked about the piece, and a rating from 1 to 5.

Also included is a listening activity to go with each piece. Additional activity options are included for older or younger students. Activities include things such as coloring pages, researching historical instruments, drawing a picture while listening, finding the form of the piece, comparing other recordings, etc.

The listening playlist is accessible by QR code. The playlist includes two pieces each from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and 20th Century musical periods, as well as some contemporary works, works by women and diverse composers.
