The notation is for voices and any instruments. Any instruments which use the treble clef including tuned percussion may be used. Choose instruments that evoke the atmosphere of the season of winter. Students may like to create their own.
‘Winter’ is intended to be the fourth of a series of short compositions for each season. Each increases in difficulty. ‘Autumn’, ‘Spring’ and ‘Summer’ are already available. ‘Summer’ is the most difficult. this explores indeterminacy.
‘Winter’ uses two different arpeggios taken from Vivaldi’s Winter from The Four Seasons. Using glockenspiels and xylophones will make playing them accessible.
The set includes:
Teacher Notes;
Full score and 4 parts for instruments;
Creative planning grid for Key Stage 2 with ideas for lessons and activities;
A game card for three games to cut up and laminate.
This is a sensory story I created for my topic 'seasons'. This was written for a PMLD/ CLDD class.
I have written it with the sentence, the sense, the sensory experience and what I and my TAs are looking for and observing throughout the sessions.
Repeat story throughout the term to enable the child to develop anticipation, investigation, awareness, preference and much more.
Could also be used in an EYFS KS1 class.
