February 5, 2014 By Jennifer 12 Comments

I thought it would be fun to do a Music Study with Doctor Who.

The kids certainly agreed so we set to researching together.

Music of Doctor Who unit study with free notebooking page!

50 years of great music. 11 (or 12) doctors representing decades (or millions of years) of history.

Check out this performance, complete with video clips. LOVE!

I also love this series of shorts about the original composers of sci-fi music: – The history of science fiction program music! So full of win.

List of all music featured in Doctor Who episodes=awesome.

    It would be fun to also listen to the theme and incidental music from the show (which changes from Doctor to Doctor) with older kids and talk about how the composers use it to illicit mood and so on…I’ve actually been thinking about doing some sort of composer study with my teen linked to music from films. You have me thinkin’. ;)

    Buttercup has just become a huge Dr. Who fan this year. I’m thinking of integrating it with history studies. Introduce the time period with the episodes, and then explain the reality of the situation. She’s watching all the seasons free on Amazon Prime–even the old ones.
