Level - Easy

The children in this slower-paced video open their imagination as they become fish swimming underwater, exploring melodic contour. There is an Orff and rhythm instrument play-along for more advanced students, who can also check out musical elements such as complementary beats and sequences. Materials: Elementary Music Room Scarves (though it also works with no scarves). The Music is: Aquarium from Saint Saens’ Carnival of the Animals.

The Mozart Musical Workout is a series of funny and exhilarating movements that get kids moving and grooving to the great classics. We find the special rhythmic and melodic elements in classical music and express the music’s spirit in movement. The kids might feel jumpy, like aliens are invading their bodies or lovely like they’re skipping through the grass or muscular like weightlifters. While getting exercise, the kids activate their imaginations as they create monsters, fish, rabbits, and more.
