Peter Tchaikovsky was a very clever composer who lived in Russia. He composed lots of ballet

music.

Question: Who knows what a ballet is? Who can dance like a ballet dancer?

He once went to France & when he was there he saw and heard a new instrument which had just

been invented-a Celeste. On the outside it looks like a piano, but inside instead of strings, it has little

bars like a glockenspiel which are hit be the hammers. Tchaikovsky was very excited about this

instrument and wanted to be the 1st

to introduce it to the Russian people. He composed a piece ofmusic for the Celeste called the dance of the sugarplum fairy.

a melodic pattern for the song on the Orff instruments, all at the same time, one

stick at a time. Then, pause the group and ask the students to take turns

creating/composing their song by dragging Sol, Mi, and DO under each line of the

song. Make sure they know that DO is C, Mi is E and SOL is G. In the smart book file,

create boxes for the beats. Have all the words already written in the file, wherethey can just drag up Do MI and SOL, using the solfedge words, under the words in

the poem, no rhythm here, just solfedge syllables. Have the students take turns

playing for the class the melody phrase that they make. There are 8 musical phrases

in the song so we will need to repeat twice, to make sure everyone has a turn. Some

kids may need to work together, depending on class size. Whole class sing the song

using DO MI SOL. Sing the song on pitch and accompany on instruments.
