Fourth of July Ideas

The Fourth of July (Independence Day in the U.S.) is one week from the posting of this entry!
To celebrate, here are some links to projects you might like to include in your lessons.

• This composition activity.

• In the lesson or for homework, students can study the American composers John Phillip Sousa and Stephen Foster. Don't forget about John Stafford Smith.

• Visit Teachers Pay Teachers for this neat-looking set of free set of American composer coloring/fact sheets.

These are just a few ideas. Do you have any special activities that you do with music students for the 4th of July?
