Music – Early Level: Primary 1 – Listening Lesson (In the Hall of the Mountain King)

In this lesson, learners will listen to a piece of music and respond to changes in tempo and dynamics using movement. The teacher will model movements for the children to copy before creating their own in response to the music.

Learners will have opportunities to talk about how the music makes them feel and what it makes them think about/picture as they listen. Learners will be supported to identify fast and slow, loud and quiet, passages in the music and to talk about how the music changes.
