3rd grade & the Chippewa Valley Symphony Orchestra

The 3rd grade students are studying the families of instruments in the orchestra to prepare for a visit from a Chippewa Valley Symphony Orchestra musician.  They are also creating works of art in art class that may be displayed at the State Theater in conjunction with their next concert.  The featured piece of music is Scheherazade by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.  Mrs. Werner and I are collaborating: I'm introducing the music in music class, and she's doing artwork with the students in art class.  I found this terrific website that introduces the musical themes, the story, and the overall work of music.  Many students expressed interest in the site- so here it is~  Scheherazade  Enjoy!
