Classroom Happenings during December...
During music class we explore music through listening, watching video of performances as well as actively being involved through singing, playing instruments and movement.
This month we will be exploring Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suit. This is an excerpt of songs from the Nutcracker Ballet. This week's piece will be "March of the Toy Soldiers". Below is a performance from You Tube showing the orchestra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmlEmi2HxjY
This song is very popular during the Christmas season and is played in background music in shopping malls, performances by area symphonies as well as used in television commercials. Make a game with your student in trying to recognize this and other songs during this season.
