Beginner Level
In the first part of the class, we will discuss Halloween and some spooky characters associated with it. We will concentrate primarily on a witch, skeleton, monster, and ghost discussing their behavior and what they might sound like in music. We will play the musical “Guess Who? game": listen to 4 short fragments of music and try to pair them with the 4 characters discussed earlier. We will move with the music reenacting witch, ghost, monster, and skeleton. We will be listening to the following musical pieces: • Fossils by C. Saint-Saens • Night on Bold Mountain by M. Mussorgsky • In the Hall of the Mountain King by E. Grieg • Apparition by R. Strauss 🎶🤩 My main goal is to familiarize children with famous pieces of classical music and make them realize how much fun classical music is. In the second part of the class, we will create an open-ended Halloween craft inspired by the music, the topic, and the variety of craft materials. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE LIST OF MATERIALS NEEDED FOR THE CRAFT. ALSO, PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT FOR THE CRAFT PORTION OF THE CLASS, PARENTAL GUIDANCE IS REQUIRED FOR YOUNGER STUDENTS (AGES 4-5) AND RECOMMENDED FOR OLDER ONES (AGES 6-8) DUE TO USE OF SCISSORS AND OTHER MATERIALS.
Learning Goals
We will learn to listen to short segments of classical music and expect the "clues" from the music. We will talk about music being loud and soft, fast and slow, exciting and spooky. Students will also exercise their fine motor skills during craft time.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia with bachelor degree in Psychology. Also, I studied Early Childhood Education in Israel and Ukraine.
Before I started teaching on Outschool, I've being teaching creativity classes inspired by classical music and fine art in afternoon preschool program working with Pre-K through 2 Grade children. Earlier, I was a homeschooling mom for 7 years.
I believe that childhood is the best time to inspire human creativity. By regularly exposing children to works of art and classical music as well as helping kids to process their experiences through games, crafts, and dramatic play, adults have an opportunity to cultivate their creativity.
I LOVE reading books in general and children's literature in particular. I think there are so many great and beautiful kids' books waiting to be discovered. I also love co-creating with the kids: bouncing my ideas of theirs.Reviews
