First Steps with the Nutcracker DVD—Lillie Feierabend.
The ultimate goal of Movement Exploration, one of the eight
parts of First Steps in Music curriculum, is to use the body
to appropriately demonstrate the expressiveness of the
music. Experiencing various movements with accompanying
music helps children develop lifelong sensitivities toward the
expressiveness - or the "art part" - of music. There is no
better vehicle for this than Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker.
The music and the story come alive when children are
invited to actively participate, to become each character,
and to respond expressively to their signature music. At
the same time, each theme offers an opportunity to expand
students' creative movement vocabulary. This video joins
Lillie Feierabend as she guides first, second, and third grade
students in dancing each character and discovering the
delight of moving expressively and musically to the Movement
Exploration themes. Also included on this DVD: A voiceover
track discussing each component of Movement Exploration
with the complete storyline with Movement Exploration
themes and implementation ideas.
