Star Wars (John Williams) Music Listening Glyph (Printable Worksheet)

Another listening glyph.  John Williams "Star Wars" related lessons are pretty popular music lesson products right now. I decided to give it a go with a Star Wars listening glyph this time.

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 Princess Leia's face pink. If they don't hear a steady beat they color her face blue.

Easter (Spring by Vivaldi) | Music Listening Glyph Worksheet (Instant Print)

I've created several music listening glyphs recently.  They're awesome resources for the elementary music classroom and so fun to make. They've also provided me with a chance to draw, and create new music educations products. Waa hoo!

If your interest, here's a link the worksheet packet:


Worksheets in this packet can be used around Easter time for any musical selection, or can be specifically used to help primary age students to be critical listeners of Vivaldi's Spring from the Four Seasons.

Here's the final worksheet image:

Jurassic Park Music Listening Glyph (Printable Worksheets)

I've been having fun creating lesson materials artwork for my new MakingMusicFun.net - TeacherPayTeachers.com store.

Yesterday I sketched a dinosaur, and turned it into this Jurassic Park music listening glyph. Kids are supposed to listen to the music and color different parts of the picture based on what they hear. It's a great way to get them listening, and wonderful method of accessing a whole class of music students all at once.

Here's the final artwork:
