Do you want to convey all curriculum-relevant topics of music education as effectively as possible while also addressing the varying skill levels of your students? This material is suitable for grades 7 to 9 and is also appropriate for open teaching in heterogeneous ability groups. For each era, you will find tips, suggestions, and blackboard illustrations for designing the lesson unit, as well as a factual text and worksheets that encourage your students to engage with era-specific questions. A concluding test in two different difficulty levels, along with an answer key, can be used for performance assessment. The accompanying audio CD provides suitable listening examples for all eras. Content of the audio CD: Track 1: Anonymous: Communiones - Circuibo, Track 3: Handel, Georg Friedrich: Fireworks Music, HWV 351 - Overture.
