First grade friends! This week we will begin our introduction to my favorite musical story, "Peter and the Wolf!" Each character in the story has its own special instrument that plays a theme (a name for a special melody) when the character has a part in the story. Please click the link to listen to the musical themes for each of the characters, and learn a little bit about Prokofiev, the composer who wrote the musical story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SxqPX_CfQA

This week's listening piece from "Carnival of the Animals," is called "The Aquarium." Please click the links below for an introduction to the piece and to listen to the piece. There is a writing sheet like last week that you can copy and paste into your google drive and complete as well. This piece also uses a very special instrument called a glass armonica, which is very rare and not used anymore in the orchestra. You can click the last link to see what this instrument is and how to play it!
