When we were listening to various music
pieces last week, the music evoked more than just feelings in the children. The
music triggered their imaginations and they began to tell stories. When
listening to Vivaldi, Sasha was very animated and told a story of flowers
growing in the sun with princesses in the garden. The music of Bach’s Toccata
and Fugue inspired Olivia to tell a story of a “bad guy coming” prompting the
children to add their ideas:
Kamy – It is dark outside.
Andy – Lots of bad guys coming.
Aston - I think trains are coming.


Sasha suggested putting on a show. The children enthusiastically went to each group inviting them to watch. On Friday, we continued with the story adding more props and some children chose to make their own goat mask.
Thanks Deb, the music is very inspiring!
