This resource is ideal for late middle/early high school choir students who have some experience with music theory/history. This is a simple worksheet that gives students a way to connect with their ensemble repertoire outside of rehearsal. Completion assumes the students have access to the score and recordings, but these can easily be provided by the director. The document provided is unpolished and inconsistent with formatting, but it could easily be adapted to suit specific needs. Author: Danielle Larrick
