Lesson Plans

Each year, the Nashville Symphony develops grade-specific lesson plans to complement the Young People’s Concerts series. By providing lesson plans and resource guides, we strive to give teachers the tools to unlock the concert experience and integrate it into classroom learning. All lesson plans provided by the Nashville Symphony correspond with state and local standards.
