Carnival of the Animals (4) (311x4)

Uitzenddatum: Jun 02, 2016

Come along now, come and see the finest animals on land, air and sea! In this series of Play School we introduce young children to the wonderful music of Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saëns. It is a playful work full of musical variety and fun. We explore elements of music like pitch and tempo and look closely at some instruments from the orchestra to see how their sounds are made. Young children are inherently musical. Participating in musical experiences helps to wire the young brain for learning as babies, toddlers and young children listen, move and sing. They enjoy experimenting with sounds and musical instruments. A wonderful group of performers share their musical expertise and join with Justine Clarke and Eddie Perfect on their joy-filled exploration journey with the animals and their adventures. We invite you to join us for Play School’s Carnival of the Animals!
