Teaching the Renaissance era is a bit of a challenge for me. I feel like there are not that many resources out there/sometimes this music is pretty out of some kiddos comfort zones. I did a quick little mini lesson about Susato that went pretty well and in the process reviewed Tam-ti with the students.
I first gave a little background on Susato and his music. Then we listened to Danse de Hercules. Finally, we learned part of the theme on BoomWhackers.
Super simple and only takes about ten to fifteen minutes! They enjoyed a quick lesson on the Renaissance and experienced playing some music of the time.
Here is the simple powerpoint I used if you would like to check it out! Download
