Class Experience

The class consists of 2 parts. In the first part of the class, the students will learn some facts about Paul Dukas, French composer. Then, I will tell the story about Sorcerer's Apprentice, Franz, accompanied by the Dukas' symphonic poem The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The plot is widely known. I will be narrating  my own version of The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Students will reenact some parts of the story with the music.
In a second portion of the class, children will make craft inspired by the musical story.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 6-7) DUE TO USE OF SCISSORS AND OTHER MATERIALS.

Profile
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.
