 * Clara Wieck Schumann**

This is a website that has all kind of great links and resources all about Clara Schumann. As a very influential part of music history and a great composer every teacher should include Clara Schumann in their curriculum. It has a variety of links about her life and music and resources to use in the classroom such as videos, cds, and photos. It's a very helpful website and is a great resource for anyone planning a lesson around her

This is a really nice video of Marin Alsop conducting the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. It's a really great piece that has a lot of really good shots of her conducting. This video is included in one of my lesson plans where after introducing Marin Alsop and talking about her we would watch this video so students could actually see her working and conducting. I think it's really important to show her conducting so she becomes more real to the students and they can see a woman conducting this huge orchestra which they might not have seen before. The student's can really see what a great conductor she is and why she deserves the fame and recognition she has.

This is a web resource of women composers and it has links from many different people to a page with information about them. It's great to find information on someone you want to teach about or find ideas of great composers to include in your lessons. It has a lot of good information on many different composers and I recommend it for ideas of things to include in your teaching. Women composers definitely need to be taught in music classrooms and this is a good resource to make it easier.

This is a lesson plan to highlight women in jazz, written by a jazz history professor who noticed other than female vocalists there was little written in the texts provided. It involves watching youtube videos of notable women in jazz and studying the music with discussion prompts to deeper the children's understanding. It's a very well developed lesson plan with good assessment ideas at the end.
