Swan Lake
$23.00
Experience the magic of one of the world’s most beloved ballets as a family through listening activities that engage learners of all ages.
This 31 page guide brings to life the story of Swan Lake through nine exquisite tracks from Tchaikovsky’s sumptuous score. Each listening activity is divided into two sections: The Story in Words and The Story in Sound. In the first, students experience the tale of Swan Lake through rich narration. In the second, they explore how Tchaikovsky used instruments, musical motifs, and orchestral colors to bring the story vividly to life.
Designed for ages 8 and up, the accompanying activity sheets guide students in identifying key instruments and musical terms as they listen. Younger children can join in too—two original coloring pages by illustrator Laura Kern invite them to color along while absorbing the wonder of Tchaikovsky’s masterful ballet.
Tchaikovsky’s ballets are perfect for engaging learners of all ages – deeply imaginative, masterfully orchestrated and profoundly beautiful, they awaken wonder and imagination while building a strong musical foundation!Â
