WDAV
CMTA endorses WDAV's Music Listening Journal for Certification points. Also Certification points are given for listening regularly to the station. This fun-filled activity lesson is geared for third graders, however, it can easily be adapted to suit other age groups. Each activity takes about 20 minutes to complete, and lessons may be taught in any order.
Classical 89.9's Music Listening Journal is designed to give children an immediate connection with classical music. Children are encouraged to trust their intuitive reactions to the music that they hear. They are NOT given information about composers, eras, works, opus numbers and so forth. Instead, they are given enjoyable, challenging experiences that require them to listen closely with a creative ear. Some excercises encourage children to explore human emotion and expression; some challenge literacy skills and other require mathematical thinking. All are FUN and filled with things to which young people can relate.
No special equipment (other than a CD player) or knowledge of classical music is required. You don't have to be a music teacher to use these activities. To request the complimentary companion CD's, call Classical 89.9 at (704) 894-8990, or click on their link to send an e-mail. |
