In fact: I am of the opinion that many more pieces of music can be classified as Classical Music than those composed by the gentlemen above – and a few more. However: Practically everything in the teaching material is projected in such a way that you can use it even if you yourself are a very, very conservative Classical Music fan. Moreover, if you are not very happy with my popular Classical Music or if you think that my young Classical Music, defined in this way, does not exist at all.

My Philosophy on the "Teaching Material Classical Music", Which Is So Important to Me (PDF)

 

Conservative paths to Classical Music have been around for a long time. However, I imagine that the path to this destination must be "cross-brushed". Only through both approaches will we commonly collectively in getting more kids interested sustainable in Classical Music than at present. More info ...

"Homework": 150 Multiple Choice Questions on 45 Pages (PDF)

 

The homework in multiple choice system is a PDF file with 150 questions in three parts. It can be completed and sent on a PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone. Or printed out on paper. Or one part of the kids does it this way, the other differently. The premise is to create a positive feeling of the child when filling it out. So there are lots of hints and trick questions are marked as such. There are answer alternatives to smile about. Some things are easy to solve by googling. Exciting specifics about many historical Classical Composers are conveyed in this way. The disproportionate presence of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven transmit the importance of this top league. After collecting and sending the kids' PDFs, this homework remains uncorrected: It will not be corrected by you. It is, in fact, " waste paper." Six more pages are available via the button ...

45 Minutes Most Popular Music by Bach "in One Piece" (MP3)

 

You'll get an MP3 with 45 minutes of the most popular Classical Works by Johann Sebastian Bach to use during your lessons. The tendency is that the background music is good when you want to convey rather more on the topic of Classical Music. In addition, if you only touch on the subject of Classical Music, then your kids do not need to compile MP3s with my other suggestions. I am not allowed to provide you with these MP3s for copyright reasons (GEMA). I produced the works of Bach myself and Bach is long dead. You can buy a speaker for your laptop or tablet from around $ 10 or you can use the one of a student. Feel free to click on the button near ...

Four Collections Classical Works With Direct Links (PDF)

 

You can first moderate a school lesson from my material on the website What actually is Classical Music? And then you give the homework. Or your kids start "in cold water": You give the homework as a " beginning" without any previous instruction. In either case, however, answering the questions should also provide what may be their first exposure to Classical Music as a listening experience. That is, you ask your kids to play the pieces from one of the four lists - one after the other. Alternatively, there are two other options: Your students listen to "Bach in one piece" or you discover musical works from my Classical Music Top 100 yourself.

 

According to your own taste and based on the consideration of how you personally feel about Classical Music, four options (... in four collections) are possible: 1) 45 minutes of conventional Classical Music. 2) A tendency to lighter Classical Music. 3) Classical Music works by British and American composers, and 4) Borderline, provocative, young Classical Works (... which you can leave out, after all).  If you want your Classical Music project to last long enough, all four collections in sequence are perfect.

 

And very important: If you do not like the Dutch musician André Rieu so absolutely at all, nor his entertainment, his humor, then please click absolutely and now here and read a little about it. You can get to the five collections of Classical Music via the info button, or also with a click here.

Collection of the 300 Most Popular and the Most Popular Young Classical Hits From Pachelbel in the Age of Baroque to Morricone in Our Time (PDF + Website Page)

 

Even if you thought that many of the titles in my collection do not deserve the label "Classical Music", you can perfectly base your lessons on this collection, which has been lovingly compiled: Critique my theses and work through them with your children. You can make a list from it, compiling the most suitable works. More homework is also good with this collection: Let your kids listen to 10 pieces in their entirety. Or 30 pieces for 30 seconds each. Have each pick out a favorite work. Or compare the supporting subcategories, distinguished by different measures. They are a special page on this website. But you can also give them as a PDF to one of your students, who will then create the playlists for use in class.

There Are Several Options for Adding Cool Music to Your "Classical Lessons."  It All Starts With a Little Bit of Music and Extends to an "Excessive Offering"

 

And it's either free or inexpensive, convenient or a bit of a hassle and time commitment. My thought process was a lining up of YouTube offers. Five suggestion lists contain a minimum of advertising, which cannot be completely avoided on this portal. You, or a student, put together a playlist – according to my suggestions – and you appoint a DJ or DJane who takes care of the volume and then switches to the next work if, contrary to expectations, advertising is audible after all. Later I discovered the option "streaming" of my suggestions or your selection via "Amazon Prime", then free if you use the service anyway. Or via "Spotify". In the long run, it is cheaper to purchase such titles via "Amazon Download". Finally, a purchase of CDs is an option, which you can play via a CD player or rip a playlist from it - quite legally - or have it ripped. You can get addresses for this with the "Teaching Material Classical Music". And "45 Minutes of Bach" is available for free, ready to play.

These are the best CDs for your project, if you don't like my collection, or you just want to offer much more Popular Classical Music. And if you would use this offer through our publishing house, your purchase would not be more expensive, but you would generate a small commission for our "Bach Mission" and our "Teaching Material Classical Music Mission". Spread over an imaginable mission over the next 20 years, a CD offer and the subsequent ripping to a playlist will cost you only a few cents "per round". Here you get directly to our top recommendations.

My Reading for You:"What Actually Is Classical Music?"

 

This website will help you to answer this question, which is hardly answered anywhere in a careful and comprehensible way. Your kids can inform themselves very compactly on this page, like in a book. You then don't have to accept the content on this page, which is my opinion. And you can cover this information at the beginning of the classics session with your kids or after the homework, then when the homework is to serve as an introduction. More info ...

Entertainment "Funny+++ Facts" for You and Maybe Also for Your Teaching 

 

It is a collection of curiosities, unimportant, strange and exciting facts. You may have already read this compilation on one of my websites. In the package "Teaching Material Classical Music" it is included again. From this compilation, information can be "woven" into the common correction of the work with the kids, or it serves as enrichment, if you want to introduce the topic "Classical Music". It is important to note that a lot of information is not at all suitable for third-graders, some is sure to be amusing for 13-year-olds, and some entertainment is really only exciting for adult Classical Music fans or other adults. You can start with a mix of entertainment and discussing what Classical Music is, or go straight for a "cold start" with the homework assignment.

"Test / Class Test": 150 Multiple Choice Questions on 45 Pages (PDF) 

 

The test is 99.9 percent the same as the homework. All questions, all texts and all pictures are 100 percent the same. The only difference is that there is a small square box for each question, where you can later write down 1 point or 0 points for the wrong answer. This test is therefore provided with the boxes, so that too "smart" kids (... like I used to be one) can not be happy to "foist" you the homework for the second time, then as a test result. Copying is okay, you and I know, it's about the pure time the kids spend on the subject, And not about the so-called oddity. The fact that two friends can form a mini-team and fill out just one collection saves resources and is a huge blast. This test is not corrected by you at home, but you correct it with the kids in another school lesson

Only two tiny details distinguish the 45 homework pages from the 45 classwork pages: It is the small box next to each position to enter a point or no point later. Plus the box for the addition on every page. What is the real point of this difference. Your kids can't just "sell you" their homework work as classwork.

"Answers + Info" for the Homework / Test (Your "Tool" 1) with Your Students (PDF)

 

Your kids have filled out the sheets, entered their names and handed them in, or sent them to you. You assign each kid a number and return the work - now anonymized for the kids. So that all your kids "encounter" each question a third time. There is also a 100% identical test version with the 150 questions for the teacher. For this, all questions are additionally supplemented by green check marks or red x in the boxes. This resolution is part 1 of your entertainment when the children each have the work of a classmate in front of them and correct it with you. The scoring is generous. The mini-teams work together again. Part 2 of your "answers-and-info" building block is commenting on all answers with conversation, each to the right of the question, answer, and - for better orientation - scaled-down illustrations. You can scroll down to this area with your mouse from question/answer complex to the next. Or you can work with my "teleprompter" for you (... next module 12).

In the "third round" there are little boxes for the points in addition to the answer. And often an additional info. Under the question the little boxes signal which solution was correct and which was wrong. The text on the right provides additional information: You don't have to remember it, but it generates "engagement with the subject". Here is the way to the shop again, if you have read enough about a completely alternative way to teach kids that Classical Music is great.

The "Teleprompter" for You to Evaluate the Test Together (Your "Tool" 2; PDF)

 

By the way, this is also how I produced my video with the answer/info combinations (... see "building block" 13 - 15) for you. This is done by inserting white space between each question on your answer-and-info list, so that only one question fills the screen. To display everything even larger, the format is rotated 90 degrees: an DIN A4 portrait format becomes an DIN A4 landscape format (... check here, what's that in centimeters and in inches). It is not intended for printing. Now, with every single click, always on the same spot, you get to the next question immediately without scrolling. And it gets even better: You can also produce such a video for your kids this year, and then for those in the next 20 years. At home. With this "teleprompter." And with my tips.

Three "Answer and Info Videos" ... for Your Common Test Evaluation (... Your "Tool" No. 3; ... or for Your Kids    for Their Own Correction    on YouTube)

 

I have produced three videos for you (... coming summer 2022) that can do the moderating for you, that you could also "perform" yourself in front of your class with the "answer-and-info sheets". I refer to each question in the three videos, deliver the correct answer, and if there is something appropriate or exciting to "comment" on, I moderate that. Many picture motifs, fitting to the questions, are additionally faded in, and the whole video work is underlaid with Bach's music (... you remember: I am only allowed to use my music by Bach for something like this). This video is also ideal especially for distance learning, but can also be presented in face-to-face classes on a whiteboard, a big TV or with a 50 $ projector. The videos are convenient to consume, entertaining, exciting and effective.

Yes, this is what it looks like when I entertain your rascal gang for you: I explain, I moderate, four times I even sing a few notes and under my explanations you can hear very quietly a little of Bach's most popular musical works.  In addition, there are the solutions also graphically and illustrations make the whole thing exciting. By clicking on the info button, you can have a really very long preview and of course listen to it.

Winner Certificate/s for the Winner/s of the "Classic Test"

  

Based on the points received and added together with your students, you determine the work with the highest score. You will then identify the winner from your notes. Alternatively, you can identify the top three students. You fill out the certificate electronically and then print it. You can fill out, print and present such a cool certificate just for the winner, for the top three winners or for more kids. And you can also award a mini team (... two friends solve and correct the test together) with it: A version for two names is included.

 

 Of course, you can also finish the winning certificates with a minimum of effort and time. In a PDF you only fill out. Decide whether you want to honor a first, second and third place with a certificate and, of course, teams can also be first, second or third place. Just print out twice.

My Thanks to You as a Teacher for Our Then "Common Mission in the Matter of Classical Music": The Audio Collage "Bach Quotes" (Audiobook; MP3) 

 

I am sure that if you enjoy Classical Music, you will enjoy listening to the small audio work Quotes About Johann Sebastian Bach (... it's just not a radio play and not an audiobook, but something else): It is 70 minutes with the most beautiful quotes from celebrities in around 300 years about the composer from Thuringia. Two professional narrators alternate, and the complete work is enriched with Bach's incredible music. After the first quotes, a ten-minute short biography about Bach's life is included. Clicking on the button below (... or here) or on the blue info button will take you directly to an audio sample.

 


Here you should definitely listen in. It is a really entertaining audio collage and not only for Bach fans: Experience Bach's music, learn very compactly about his life and listen to what so many celebrities said about Bach.
