(F1) Aural Lesson Worksheet – ‘Les Toreadors’ From Carmen Suite No.1
Home > Downloads > Secondary > 1st Year > (F1) Aural Lesson Worksheet – ‘Les Toreadors’ From Carmen Suite No.1
This is a worksheet to accompany a listening to the piece ‘Les Toreadors’ from Carmen Suite No.1. This is by the Romantic Composer Georges Bizet.
Many students will recognise this piece from being played on the Podiums at Formula One races. So this is a great piece to bring in students prior knowledge.
This worksheet includes:
A section where students are to carry out independent learning (to find out 3 facts about the composer)
A section where students discuss whether they have heard the piece before and what emotion it evokes
A section to analyse the music, discussing tempo, dynamics……etc and to discuss features of romantic era music
A section for students to draw an image of what comes to mind when they hear the music
This is a way for students to recap the elements of music. This activity can be done in pairs or individually.
The first page is for students to try remember and recall the elements of music. The second page is to recall and create a vocabulary bank to describe/explain each element of music.
This is a great way to ease students back into the music class.
Thank you for shopping with me! Happy Learning!
This resource is great for students to stick into their music notebooks. They simply fill in every music word they learn that corresponds to each element. e.g in ‘Tempo’ students can write allegro, largo… to build their vocabulary to describe tempo and so on.
This is great as once this is in their music notebooks, they have a place to refer to while learning to describe music.
