Teacher Guide (Pre K- Gr. 3)

Discover how children can make "magical" soup through the music of Mozart. In section A of the "Marriage of Figaro" children will be adding spices from their imaginary spice cupboards with presto fast hands. In Section B, they will "stir it up" using a legato stir, and in Section C they will shout out to everyone in the land to "Come and taste their soup" using their forte voices. This video sample is taken after one 50 minute class with kindergarten students that had never been exposed to the materials. Print off the map and follow along with the music just as the students do! A great tool to teach the concept of form! Enjoy!

Teacher Guide (Gr. 3- Gr. 7)

See how Mozart's "Rondo Alla Turca" comes to life through the power of storytelling, drama, song and creative movement. This exciting piece is an all time favorite with students from grades 3-7. In this selection you will witness the maids and butlers of King Lou's palace frantically search for their crazy King Lou! They dust and scrub high and low searching for clues to find King Lou! In this sample, you are viewing grade six students after one 50 minute class. Print off the map and you will be able to follow the map while listening to music. This is a great tool for our visual learners, helping students "see" the form of the music and therefore have a much better understanding of this concept. Enjoy!
