Playing with the Classics: Music Masterworks for Children by Peggy D. Bennett.
Storytelling, movement, and music are the active ingredients in these listening lessons for ages 3-8. Fully reproducible and designed for novices as well as experienced teachers, the lively classroom-tested lessons combine storytelling and movement with bite-sized chunks of classical music. Each lesson introduces the composer, the music, and has simple listening maps of melody, rhythm, and form.
The author's helpful tips and lesson preparations make this a valuable, easy-to-use resource. An American in Paris, The Toreador's Song, The Moldau, Surprise Symphony, Sorcerer's Apprentice and 6 more works are divided into 30 excerpts on the CD.
