Many children listen to children's songs or pop music in their daily lives, but only a few come into contact with classical music. However, this music offers children a variety of opportunities to explore musical forms and characteristics. Their social and emotional skills, such as self-confidence and teamwork, are also enhanced through collaborative music-making and communication about music. These practical materials show you concrete ways to spark children's curiosity about classical music. The students actively follow in the footsteps of Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Schumann, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, and Stravinsky: they transform the moods of the music into images, accompany musical works with instruments, or become little composers themselves. For example, they turn Handel's Fireworks Music into a lantern display.
