If Beethoven could write one of his most famous symphonies ever while completely deaf, you can teach your child about symphonies. While listening to melodious music, your child will learn about Haydn, Mozart, Joseph Bologne, Florence Price, Aaron Copland, and more! They will experiment with tempo and musical notation, they’ll make a homemade instrument, and they’ll even put on a performance of their own. By the time you finish these activities, your child will have a solid introduction to the orchestra.

The lessons in this theme are dynamic! You need easy activities you can do at home with simple, crafty materials you likely have around the house. Plus, you’ll be relieved to find the done-for-you printable materials inside the packet: just print, cut and start teaching!
