These are the PowerPoint lessons I did on the different periods of classical music with my music appreciation class. Feel free to use them, but please credit me or provide a link to my website.
The printed music included should all be Public Domain because the composers are long-dead, and I can include a a bibliography of titles of pieces used in the samples on slideshow if necessary. The hammered dulcimer musician’s YouTube is DizziDulcimer, the Bach Counterpoint example is by Glenn Gould.
Periods of Classical Music 1 – MedRen
Periods of Classical Music 2 – BarCla
Periods of Classical Music 3 – Rom&20th
I cannot upload the sound samples here, but if you need them for a lesson I can send them to you, or send titles so you can look them up. It’s planning period now, so I will add the titles later when I have more time. Looking forward to the color guard class in a few minutes!

I hope to encourage my students to try their hardest, feel like they have accomplished something, and give them a life long passion for music."
