Saint Saens' Carnival of the Animals is a marvelous practical way to introduce music concepts and elements.
Listen to Carnival of the Animals narrated by Leonard Bernstein with Ogden Nash poems and identify the animals by placing the Carnival Music-Go-Round on the whiteboard. Next to each animal, add MGRs Dynamics, Tempo, and Articulation dots showing expressive elements the composer uses to depict each animal. Listen for the fortissimo and glissando in the Royal March of the Lions, grace notes and staccatos of the kangaroos, or pianissimo and legato in the Aquarium.
Use our Listening Guide & Coloring Book to to develop listening skills and learn about instruments and the composer! Have fun, move like the animals, and create your own "animal" pieces with Music-Go-Rounds™.
