Listening Plans for the music of Beethoven
By admin | March 19, 2010
Here is an essential list of listening for music lesson plans about Beethoven.
“Für Elise” Bagatelle in A minor
Listen to the beginning of “Fur Elise” and sing together the well-known opening melody (the first nine notes). Now play the whole piece, this time counting how many times melody appears. You could work individually or in groups. (For teacher’s reference: The melody appears 16 times.)
