Crazy for Composers!

Over the last month, students in grades 3-6 have been studying various composers. It's amazing to think that many of the things we do in music today are in direct connection with something that one of these composers did hundreds of years ago! We've also been learning that these composers had very interesting lives!

Grade 3 students have been studying Ludwig Van Beethoven.
Grade 4 students have been studying Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Grade 5 students have been studying Franz Liszt.
Grade 6 students have been studying Antonio Vivaldi.

Now that we've completed the research phase of our composer studies, students have been working as a class to develop a "Prezi" about their composer. A Prezi is an online tool that allows us to present our learning in a fun and engaging way. We can also incorporate multimedia elements (i.e. photos, links to youTube videos, sound samples, etc).

I will post the completed Prezis as they are finished. Grade 3A completed theirs today! Click on the link below to take a look!
