The Crestview Music Room: Music Listening Monday

Today we are going to begin something called Music Listening Monday. Each Monday I will focus on different genres or types of music. In the Manitoba Music Curriculum, students need to learn about other cultures, times and places. This includes music from the past and present, from our community, Manitoba, Canada and the world. There is so much music out there; unfortunately we cannot cover it all so it will be just a smattering of a variety of music. We briefly cover some of these outcomes in Music class. Because we cannot be together as a class, this is the perfect opportunity to focus on these outcome as we cannot develop some of our other group music making skills at this time.

Just a friendly reminder that students need to be aware that there are different kinds of music. We may not like it all, and this is perfectly okay, but we need to be respectful and have an open mind as we listen to and experience all kinds of music.

Please note that I have tried to carefully choose songs that are appropriate to listen to "at school". That means that the words of the song as well as the subject and content is "clean" and appropriate for children.

Your Assignment:

Below you will find the name of the musician, title of the song, genre or type of music, awards they have won a YouTube video of the musician performing. Click on the musician's name and it will bring you to more information about the musician. If you have your parent's permission, you can explore more music by the musicians on YouTube, Spotify or Apple Music. Enjoy!
