Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev wrote the music for Peter and the Wolf in 1936.\u00a0 It was written as a child\u2019s introduction to the orchestra and was first performed at a children\u2019s theatre in Moscow.\u00a0 Each character in the story is represented by a different instrument or group of instruments.<\/p>\n

The story is about a boy named Peter who lives with his grandfather. His Grandfather does not want Peter going out of their garden because there are wolves around but one day Peter goes out, leaving the garden gate open, and sees a little bird. \u00a0What will happen next…..<\/p>\n

YMI Tutor Jenni Borthwick has put together two PowerPoints presentations to explore the music and how the instruments represent each of the characters. There is one resource aimed at Level 1 and another for Level 2<\/p>\n
