March is Women's History Month, and this year I wanted to create a bulletin board highlighting female musicians throughout history. Thanks to my mom for coming up with the title: "Women Wow the Music World!"(and for cutting out and mailing me the letters)!
As with some previous bulletin boards (see the post "Celebrate Music with these Great Americans!" for Black History Month), I printed out the "condensed" file, trimmed and laminated each half sheet, and then attached them to a folded piece of colored paper. If you'd rather save some steps, just print out the "double sided" file, fold each page in half, and you're ready to staple them to the bulletin board!
For each musician, I included her name and picture on the front and then her name, dates, country, instrument, profession, genre, and one famous title when you lift up the flap.
Here are the 24 musicians included (feel free to add your own):
- Martha Argerich
- Amy Beach
- Hildegard von Bingen
- Nadia Boulanger
- Regina Carter
- Cécile Chaminade
- Sarah Chang
- Sandra Dackow
