Encouragement for Friday:
“Writing about music ties the languages together through translation.”
~Pages Master Teacher, Taylor
The 5-week class format for our online Pages Music classes do not require reading, but do require learning to listen to, appreciate music. After a five-week exploration of The Four Seasons by Vivaldi, 9th grader, Kingsley, translated her observations of the music to haiku.
Be inspired!
And, please be sure to join the creativity during Session 5 and Session 6.
Spring
Movement 1:
Birds chirp melodies,
Bees swarm, dancing with the wind,
Flowers bloom softly.
Movement 2:
Snow melts, sun rises,
Bunny hops out of its burrow, swarm,
Stretching in the warmth.
Movement 3:
Chilling winds whisper,
Snow melting in a warming light,
Nature’s song takes flight.
Summer
Movement 1:
They dread in the heat,
Aggression fuels their play,
Burning sun above.
Movement 2:
Heat stifles movements,
Unquenched thirst with every step,
Beneath the blazing sun.
Movement 3:
Bounding through the fields,
Friends laughing and running wild,
Sunshine and laughter.
Winter
Movement 1:
Frost brushes the glass,
Blizzard painting the landscape ,
Snow dances wildly. s
Movement 2:
Candles twinkle bright,
Their warm light dances with joy ,
Soft snowflakes drifting.
Movement 3:
Slipping fast on ice,
Annoyed steps betray my grace,
Snow piles up high, vast.
Autumn
Movement 1:
Chatter fills the air,
Autumn’s vibrant twirl,
Yawning with tired eyes.
Movement 2:
Soft sounds fill the air,
Floorboards hum the lullaby,
A royal banquet.
Movement 3:
Feasting with old friends,
Laughter echoes through the halls,
A royal banquet.
