The Nutcracker: Little Story Compositions
The Little Story Compositions Bundle was created to encourage students to connect with exceptional repertoire through active listening and to use this as inspiration to create and compose their own Little Story Compositions.
Ideally, this bundle is thought as a complementary resource to the lesson plan bundle 'FlutePlay with the Nutcracker' (arriving in 2022!); however, the activities can also be used as a separate tool in which students develop their flute skills by going on a wonderful adventure through Pjotr Tchaikovsky’s ballet 'The Nutcracker'.
Encourage students to have fun creating and composing their own head joint songs, inspire them to come up with their own Nutcracker stories and let them create playful melodies that suit the different characters of the ballet. Use the worksheet pages to help your students understand the music that they are actively listen to,
help them develop musical awareness, musical phrasing, knowledge of instruments, and basic parameters such as speed, volume, major and minor, etc. ... all in a PLAYFUL and POSITIVE way!
This bundle includes the characters pictured on the cover page: the Nutcracker, Clara, the Mouse King, the Sugar-Plum Fairy, AND a bonus series for Dance of the Reed Flutes created especially for our #littleflutists!
