Description
Take a carefully crafted poem, illustrate it imaginatively, and then provide some creative music-making activity to accompany it. What do you get?
An original and exciting resource that will have you addressing the requirements of the National Curriculum for Music, (especially the 'dreaded' composing), without a moment's panic or hours of anxious preparation.
The opportunities it affords for music-making are endless. This project will have your children engaged and participating – performing, composing and responding – inspiring them on many levels in the process.
Each poem is beautifully illustrated to complement its mood and to add extra visual inspiration. Specific percussion activities are suggested for each poem and will quickly have your class participating and composing with skill and satisfaction. The accompanying CD features the poems being read and demonstrates some of the suggested musical activities. This is a fantastic new musical resource, ideally suited to implement the National Curriculum requirements for Music, Literacy Hour and much, much more.
