Festival of Music  Listening  Masters

Music Listening Masters is a classical music listening club offered to 2nd through 5th  graders attending Hicks Elementary.  Students  study 12 pieces of classical music and have to be able to identify them on the optional LISD contest day after hearing only 20 seconds of that piece!  Students have to know the name of the selection, major work (if the piece has one) and the name of the composer.


          You will receive a list of all of the names of the pieces and their composers in a "passport" format, along with a notebook with additional listening maps and materials.  Study these and be able to match the title of the piece to the name of the composer.

             Listen/watch   the practice  music videos and study materials in our FMLM Canvas course and be able to identify what song it is by hearing a small section of ANY part of the song. 


This year, FMLM Club will be a 10-12 week after school course meeting every Monday from 3-4:00pm in the Music Room beginning  in January, 2024.   Actual Listening competition is  in April.  Exact dates TBD.


Be looking for an email that will be sent to you in you in early January.   Print, Sign and Return the permission form from the email in January.  Exact date TBD.  For more detailed questions, please contact Mrs. Shepard, Music Teacher at shepardk@lisd.net.
