Each day a boy named Peter opens a gate and wanders into a familiar meadow and so the story begins thanks to Sergei Prokofiev. Music, like fiction always exists in the present tense.
HEAR FROM MUSIC DISCOVERY TEACHER, MR. TAYLOR:
Back in 1936, Prokofiev was commissioned to write a musical symphony for children. He had an idea. And he got to work crafting the story of Peter and an imaginative cast of characters who are sonically represented with themes played by specific instruments of the orchestra. Genius!
Children (and adults alike) across the ages simultaneously learn about the different voices of the instruments of the orchestra and the power of story through this singular work.
We are so happy to offer two classes during Session 1 to introduce Peter and the Wolf for both elementary and middle + high school:
Tuesdays 5th – 8th Grade, 10:30 PST
Thursdays 9th – 12th Grade, 10:30 PST
Music is language. Blackbird & Company is excited to introduce a series of music classes through Pages this coming year because music extends literacy.
