Beginner Level
This ongoing class will meet once a week. Every week the students will listen to a made-up story accompanied by fragments from 1 piece of classical music. During the class, children will be introduced to the composer who wrote the featured music. They will also reenact parts from the story and move with the music while reenacting. For the last 10-15 minutes of the class, students will be invited to draw while listening to the fragments of music they liked the most. Children are expected to have markers (or crayons) and paper available during drawing with music time. 🎶🤩 My main goal is to familiarize children with famous pieces of classical music and make them realize how much fun classical music is. During the course, the children will be exposed to the following music: Week 1: Story With Vivaldi's Music (from Four Seasons; the stories and the music will change each season) Week 2: Story With Grieg's Music (Peer Gynt) Week 3: Story With Saint-SaËNs (The Carnival of the Animals) Week 4: Story With Dukas (The Sorcerer's Apprentice) Week 5: Story With Mozart's Opera (The Magic Flute) Class is appropriate for (𝐂𝐄𝐅𝐑: B1, B2, C1, C2) 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬: Let's Play With... Classical Music! Travel With Classical Music to... Fantastic Places!
Learning Goals
Students will learn to listen to short segments of classical music and expect the "clues" from the music. They will learn some facts about composers. We will talk about music being loud and soft, fast and slow, exciting and sad, etc.

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.
