Dark Nights and Mysterious Tunes: Songs that Embrace the Spirit of Halloween

The songs I'll be sharing today are perfect to use with your upper elementary classes or choir, especially if you're working on helping students learn how to sing in 2-parts.  The pieces be great for a fall concert, to sing in class around Halloween or to use within a specific program related to a theme such as animals (The Bat) or literature (Edgar Allen Poe and William Shakespeare).  I'd love to know if you've used any of these pieces with your students or if there's one that stands out that you want to do with your students! I'll talk about each piece and share musical elements that stand out as well as activities, warm-ups, and games you could incorporate.  You can find the links to each piece in the show notes or on my website in the podcast section.
