Product Description

Want to know what your primary students are hearing in the music you share and open their ears to even more? Listening glyphs allow K-3 students to express what they hear by choosing one crayon or the other, and allow teachers to assess the understanding of an entire class at a glance.

What's a Listening Glyph

Glyphs are pictures of facts. A listening glyph asks students to identify the "facts" about a musical selection, and then express what they are hearing by choosing one crayon or another.

Example: Students are asked to listen for "Steady Beat." If they hear a steady beat in the music they color Peter's skin pink. If they don't hear a steady beat they color Peter's skin blue.

Contents

1) Peter's Theme Listening Glyph - Students will listen for steady beat, tempo, amplitude (volume), bright/happy or dark/scary (tonal quality), legato/staccato or only staccato, repeated music, and if they hear strings alone or all of the instruments of the orchestra.

2) Wolf's Theme Listening Glyph - Students will listen for steady beat, tempo, pitch/amplitude, bright/happy or dark/scary (tonal quality), legato/staccato or only staccato, repeated music, and what instruments are supporting the french horns.

3) Blank Listening Glyph - This version of the glyph gives the greatest freedom. Blanks are provided so you can choose the things that you'd like your students to listen for.

4) About This Activity - This page includes instructions and extension ideas.
