Beginner Level
In the first part of the class, we will discuss what fairy tales and what fairy tale characters children are familiar with. I will introduce some common fairy tale characters, like princess, knight, dragon, and fairy. We will discuss the behaviors of these characters and the sounds that might be associated with them. 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 while reenacting princesses, knights, dragons, and fairies. We will be listening to the following musical pieces: The Fairy-Queen by H. Purcell The Valkyrie by R. Wagner Pictures on Exhibition by M. Mussorgsky Sleeping Beauty by P. Tchaikovsky In the second part of the class, we will create fairy tale characters. Children are encouraged to use their imagination and create any characters in this open-ended craft. 🎶🤩 My main goal is to familiarize children with famous pieces of classical music and make them realize how much fun classical music is.

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.

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
