Nine Noteworthy: Female Composers
This lesson comes from Nine Noteworthy: Female Composers by Krista Hart, a resource that teaches about nine important female composers and their impacts on music. Each composer is introduced with a quick-read Bio, brief Composer Connections facts, and a Listening Lab identifying important works and key elements to discover in each musical selection. Students may check what they learned on the Review page, and then connect with the composer’s life and times through Reflection Questions and a culminating Writing Prompt.
