  1. Holes and goals: Music History Linda Cruikshank

  2. Essential questions • What are the different time periods and what genres of music would you expect in each? • Within those different genres of music, what are the different forms that were associated with each? • Which composers were exemplars in each genre/time period?

  3. Enduring understandings • Distinguish between different time periods, especially classical, romantic, baroque, impressionist: orchestration is a key component, tonality, and instrumentation are all important in distinguishing between the time periods. • Knowing distinctive characteristics of different composers makes it easier to distinguish their music. • On the same token, knowing the time period the piece is coming from, the easier it is to decide who the composer is.

  4. Products • Music History Timeline: 1350-1900’s • On 3x5 index cards I researched and found composers, their time period, and exemplar works • Practice Praxis II test • Took a 100-question practice test, graded it, and then on the answers I got wrong I went through and wrote down the correct answer • Pandora Music Listening Quiz • Put Pandora, Inc. classical radio station on shuffle and listened for two (2) one-hour periods, wrote down who I thought the composer was and why • Six haikus that involve the five time periods • Loved this activity, making a very concise definition about each time period, actually kind of difficult

  5. Resources Four resources helped me out the most: • www.wikipedia.org • www.pandora.com • Norton Anthology of the History of Western Music • Praxis II practice book and test

  6. reflections • I have been bad at history since fifth grade when I received my first “C” . Things did not get better in undergrad. Luckily, through this project, I was able to re-learn, somewhat, what I was taught in the past. • Unfortunately, I have a lot of information that I must continue to keep learning because even though I have learned and reviewed, if I were to be asked what specific terms were I would still struggle to find some answers.

  7. questions • How can I keep my mind fresh in terms of remembering music history once I’m out of the classroom again? • Is there something else I can do to remember things or should I just keep on practicing and reading in the hopes of it all clicking at some point?

  8. Next steps… • Keep my index card timeline and use as a reference when needed and pull it out every so often to practice. • Keep up with listening to classical music, something that I have stopped in recent years. • If you have any ideas, feel free to let me know!
