This Week: Medieval Music

This week, all grades learned about Medieval music. We learned about two instruments, the vielle and the shawm, since they will be evolving into modern instruments (oboe/basson and violin). We learned about plainchant, the Dies Irae, and a female composer named Hildegard of Bingen. Here are the videos we used, for students who wish to re-watch or finish watching:
