Video hello from Ms. Hesketh

 

*Did you start to recognize the sound of the characters in Peter and the Wolf?

*Do you think you can name the instruments by their sound now?

 

Reflect

This week I would like to ask you to think about your favourite musical character in the story?

What is your favourite character or musical theme, why? What instrument is it played by?

Draw a picture of how the theme or character’s music made you feel.

Do you think of certain colours? Do you think of round shapes or jagged shapes? Does it make you feel happy, sad, or excited? Does it remind you of something or someone in particular?

Here is a worksheet you can print, or you can just use a simple piece of paper.

Once you have drawn your picture, ask a grown up in your house to help you write a few words about what you drew and why.

 

Share

Send a picture to your music teacher by email with your name and division.

Take care and have fun!

Activity 2

Did you find the first activity on the Week One page?

Big hello to all of you! Here is a little recording that I (Ms. Hesketh) made just to say hi!

 

 

I hope you are all doing okay and getting out in the sunshine these days. Have you noticed that the streets are a lot quieter right now? It sure seems like the animals and birds have, they seem a lot braver than usual without so many of us humans around. Have you noticed any new animals around your home venturing out that you’ve never seen before? I saw a beautiful brown and white falcon in my backyard and a bald eagle in my front yard this week for the very first time!

1. For the next few lessons we are going to listen to a very famous musical story about animals by the composer Sergei Prokoviev. It is called “Peter and the Wolf” and the story is told with words and music. It was written quite a long time ago in 1936 for a children’s theatre in Moscow, Russia. Prokoviev wrote it to introduce kids like you to the instruments of the orchestra. The neat thing about this piece is that the characters are played by specific instruments and you can really hear how each instrument has its own personality. Not only that, but there are musical ideas called “themes” played by the instruments. Each character has its own musical idea or “theme” connected to it.

Active Listening: Have a listen to the character’s musical themes here

Curious? 🙂

Prokoviev was born here

You can see pictures of Prokofiev here

2. Active Listening: Now that you’ve listened to the instruments and the themes for the different characters, grab a blanket and get cozy with some headphones and have a listen to the whole piece here 

Happy listening!
