This idea will help introduce famous or not so famous composers to your students.  Post a picture of the world map.  For individuals who can not draw like me, office supply stores (Staples) have already made posters that are inexpensive and helpful.  The background color can be an ocean blue, or the border can be stapled in a curvy patter representing the waves of the oceans.   Around the world map, post pictures of composers that you would like to discuss with your students.  It’s fun for students to see how composers look, and you will find some of the students questions a bit humorous.  To find composer pictures, I think it’s resourceful to look up internet sites that have composer pictures and print the pictures with the internet sites underneath them.  The students may wish to research on their own.  Music around the world assists students to more appreciate composer’s music that they hear and perform in class.  Also, music appreciation classes may use this bulletin board idea as an introduction to an assignment, “The Composer Paper”.  Students can be invited to write about a composer that is presented on the board.  With the internet site already listed under the picture, the teacher has made it helpful for students to begin the first step to their research.  I find if classroom bulletin boards are interactive with the student’s curriculum, it only heightens the use of the classroom to aid in broadening the student’s education, and it doesn’t hurt to spark discussion between the two, student and teacher.
