Every music lesson is in essence, a listening lesson.
The following Music Scanning Sheets are to be filled out during and after listening to a piece of music. The sheets ask students to describe the music in general and will also provide a basis for lively discussion among the students. Make plenty of copies so students can do this activity more than once. It is preferable for students to complete the sheets over several listenings rather than in one sitting. After first discussing the musical concepts, ask students to decide which concept is found in the particular piece of music to which they are listening.
