I am going to write some reviews of classic albums and say if there are any classroom activities we can create from them. The album almost seems like a relic of the past. Now we consume individual songs and the idea of a cohesive album is something we have lost to time. I’m going to try to write a review a day but I doubt very much I will be able to keep it up! It’s also a good activity for myself to get back into listening to music properly. I’ve lost the habit of just sitting down and listening and I want to get this skill back in the coming year. I also want to write about music, so hopefully my reviews will get better with time. I’ve gone with Radiohead’s “OK Computer”, The Beatles “Abbey Road” and Black Sabbath “Paranoid” to start with – all three are British bands but this won’t always be the case. I’ve chosen these albums first because they are very well known and I think there are some things we can use in our classrooms from each one. It’s a cathartic and enjoyable activity for myself but please comment if you have anything to say about these fantastic albums.
