The entire activity is within a Google form (will be delivered by TPT to your Google Drive) and the students will need internet access for research and Youtube access for the videos. (If YouTube is not available, you could provide answers to any questions that require YouTube – most do not.) Scrap paper or a digital notepad can be helpful for deciphering the challenges. Or, if preferred, printable versions of the challenges are included in the folder as well.

Other musical terms or facts mentioned include Gregorian chant, Machaut, troubadours, polyphonic music, trumpet, lute, guitar, trombone, clavichord, lira da braccio, tambourine, recorder, harpsichord, lyre, viola da gamba, ornamentation, grace notes, turns, mordents, string quartet, Finlandia, Sibelius, serialism, Duke Ellington, jazz, Take the “A” Train, blues, The Beatles.

Completion time should be 30-45 minutes depending on age, number of students in a team and the amount of clues (if any) that the teacher might give. This activity is also perfect for a truly beneficial lesson with a substitute teacher and can work for band, choir, orchestra or general music.

If you are not familiar with Google Forms, please read the DIRECTIONS & HELPFUL TIPS before opening the form so you will know how to use the resource. The Directions & Helpful Tips should be in the google folder that TPT shares with you after purchase.

iPad users - Troubleshooting with iPad users.

Usually these escape rooms will work just fine on iPads. If you run into trouble:

- Try using Safari as a browser instead of Chrome/Firefox

- Be sure students are using the internet, not the Google Form APP.

- Partner students with iPads with other students who have laptops and have them enter the answers into the laptop.

We don't anticipate problems, but these tips may help if there is an issue.
