Beginner Level
In the first part of the class, students will listen to a story accompanied by Vivaldi's Summer (from Four Seasons.) While listening to the music, they will be "picturing" what might be happening in the music. Kids will be encouraged to use their imagination throughout the class. I will also invite them to reenact some parts story and to pretend to be different characters in a story. In addition, I will share some facts about Vivaldi. In the second part of the class, we will make an open-ended craft inspired by the music and the story. 🎶🤩 My main goal is to familiarize children with famous pieces of classical music and make them realize how much fun classical music is. 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 THE USE OF SCISSORS AND OTHER MATERIALS. Class is appropriate for (𝐂𝐄𝐅𝐑: B1, B2, C1, C2)
Learning Goals
As students listen to Vivaldi's music, they will practice using their imagination. They will also learn who Vivaldi was and what composers do. During the craft time, children will exercise their fine motor skills and will be encouraged to use their creativity.

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.
