Composers' Last Names Blackout Worksheet 

Directions: Below you will a string of letters followed by a composer's first name. The composer's last name  is hidden inside that string of letters. Your job is to find the last name by blacking out the letters that do not belong. For example, if you see QWSDATGHKLDEBR and you know that your vocabulary word is "WATER", then you would take a pen or pencil and black out the Q,S,D,G,H,K,L,D, and B until just the word "WATER" is left. See if you can figure out each composer's last name below by blacking out the unneeded letters.
