After reading aloud the AR book, The Beatles by Mike Venezia, we listened to samples of this music. Keep reading to find out what we heard!
We heard samples of The Beatles’ early music, including “I Saw Her Standing There” and “Can’t Buy Me Love.”
Selections from the 1965 “Rubber Soul” we heard as well, such as “Baby You Can Drive My Car” and “Nowhere Man.”
My personal favorite, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” was also heard. The sad “She’s Leaving Home” was a big contrast to the playful “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.” Some students recognized traditionally Indian instruments in “Within You, Without You.” Many agreed that “For the Benefit of Mr. Kite” sounded much like a circus.
1969′s “Abbey Road” seemed to be a favorite with the class. The bizarre & wacky “Maxwell Silver Hammer” got some laughs. “Here Comes the Sun” was another fun song.
The Beatles’ last album recorded together in 1970 was “Let it Be.” Students recognized the frustration in “I Me Mine” and recognized the popular song “Let it Be.”
