Daily Blog Challenge Day 352/365
Material Monday
I am teaching music appreciation for the first time this year. The 8th graders had the class last year, so I have to find new activities for them. One project I am going to have them do is one that I found online. My students are going to create an Artist Family Tree. They are going to pick an artist and find out who influenced them and then research who influenced each of them and so on.
I have started working on an example for this project and I will post it when I am finished. My hope is that my students will discover that music regardless of genre is all interrelated and many artists influence each other. I think this will be a great way to start the class and will open up many other conversations.
What is your favorite music appreciation project?
Thank you for reading.
