Studying music traditions from around the world provides both windows and mirrors to your students. With this set of worksheets, students will learn about four traditional Iranian instruments: the tar, dotar, karnay, and barbat. Use the reading passages to gain background information about each of the instruments and Persian culture; check their understanding using the included worksheets; and show off students’ coloring pages as part of a display or to inform parents of what their child is learning in music! This would make a great addition to any multicultural music unit or to spring music lessons about Nowruz (Persian New Year).

This product includes:

• 10 coloring page options
• 5 reading passages
• 3 compare and contrast sheets
• 3 mix-and-match pages
• 1 crossword puzzle
• 1 word search
• 1 unscramble page

Answer keys are also included – this would make a great no-tech sub plan!
