Learn about the the life and music of Camille Saint-Saens! This easy open and go lesson is perfect for classrooms or home-school. No previous musical experience is necessary to facilitate these lessons. About CONVERSATIONS WITH COMPOSERS: All lessons are suitable for ages 4-12 years old and can be worked on together as a group or family. Accompanying the teaching time is the choice between two activities; one for young learners ages 4-8 years old and one for older learners ages 8-12 years old. Included in each 30 minute lesson is a "Setting The Stage" section which introduces the children to what they are about to learn followed by a more informative teaching time called "Diving Deeper", and followed by a hands on "Activity Time." Each lesson has book suggestions as well as listening suggestions that correspond with the theme of the lesson.Within each lesson you will find the option of using a link or a QR code that links you directly to a short video or live performance featuring music by the composer.In the appendix, I've included a sketch of the composer that can be used to either string up as a timeline or be used as a coloring/painting template to keep little hands busy during the informative section of the lesson.Each lesson gives you a list of materials needed at the beginning of the lesson which usually includes many household items that a classroom or house would already have.One important note is that the use of a music platform such as Apple music, Spotify or YouTube is a must when facilitating these musical lessons! Included in this lesson: An informative lesson on the life and music of Camille Saint-Saens. An active listening activity for young learners which includes listening to and coloring the 14 movements of "The Carnival Of The Animals." All the scenes in this activity are original art by Anne DeJong from Calgary, Alberta. An active listening activity for older learners which includes listening to and sketching the animal and scene from each movement of "The Carnival Of The Animals." This can either be done under pressure to draw their sketch before the movement is over, or students can pause after each movement to spend time on their masterpiece. A composer sketch for coloring purposes. Book Suggestions - "The Carnival Of The Animals" (the book and accompaniment CD) by Jack Prelutsky and "Carnival Of The Animals" illustrated by Sue Machin. Listening Suggestions - "The Carnival Of The Animals", "Samson and Delilah" and "Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso Op. 28." My hope and desire with the lessons from Conversations with Composers is that through the stories, the activities, the music and the videos, children would be drawn into the fascinating world of Classical music.

Virtual Sheet Music® Premium High-Quality digital sheet music for piano, op.66, NEW EDITION, fingerings included. Can't quite write a review of a score that I have only begun to examine. Would have liked more indicators of fingers to use on successive notes. Not interactive (change tempo etc...), despite “working on it” since May 2016... Midi file is from 2013... Very nice to the pc, but I would have liked that to be operating in iPad. Unfortunately Chrome-browser is not supported. I really like to attempt to work on this music..it will be relaxing to complete. My daughter heard this on a CD, and because she loves to play music that has a fast tempo, she wanted to learn this. It is difficult for her (age 11) but it was so nice to be able to get it easily online. Hit one note at a time, alternating them. They fit together as I was told by my piano teacher. I am on page four of eleven. Enjoy the study. This is an excellent piece, but this sheet music doesn't include fingerings, which might make it harder for a lot of people. It's already a hard enough piece as it is! That Piece is one of my favor piece from Frederic Chopin. It is a difficult piece. I Play the Piano and I Play only the second part. I like Piano. Do you have a version of that piece with the Chords. It Could be easy to Play. I think this piece is good to learn because it kind of sound like beethoven's moonlight the third movment.I say this is a good piece to learn even if am learning ballade in g minor. Ballade in g minor is also a good piece to learn to. This song is one of the best piano pieces I have ever heard! This song is awesome also because it's on one of my video games called clock tower 3. This song sound really hard,but for me,i'm a beginner pianist,but I hope to work my way up to this song.
