A Classroom Guide to Using Folk Ballads
This webpage is geared towards being used with 5th and 6th grade students, but it is not limited to those grades.


What to expect from this webpage
This project was created to be used by music teachers who wish to find more uses for ballads within the elementary or general music classroom. On each page under the "Ballads" section, you will find background and contextual information, a video or audio recording of the ballad, downloadable sheet music, and several detailed lesson ideas.
Not all of these lessons will fit every classroom situation, but they are a guide to be used to inspire the different possibilities of using multi-verse songs that tell stories.
