Beginner Level
In the first part of the class, students will be introduced to a story about fall accompanied by Vivaldi's Autumn (from The Four Seasons) and reenact different scenes with the music. They will also learn a few facts about Antonio Vivaldi. In addition, we will discuss what composers do and what it means to compose music. Finally, children will participate in musical games. In the second part of the class, students will make a craft inspired by the story and Vivaldi's music. 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.
Learning Goals
We will practice listening to short segments of classical music and expecting "clues" from the music. Students will be encouraged to use their imagination throughout the class. They will also exercise their fine motor skills during the 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.
