Parachutes and Ribbons and Scarves, Oh My!
Listening Lessons with Movement Props
By Artie Almeida
Book and CD+
78 pages
For grades K - 5
Fun, fun and more fun! And what could be better than a resource that will have students begging to listen to more classical music? In Parachutes and Ribbons and Scarves, Oh My!, Artie Almeida shares some of her most-beloved guided listening and movement-based lessons.
These lessons offer a wonderful opportunity to build a school/home/family connection. Artie sends home Family Musical Moment notes to encourage families to share the experience by downloading the piece of music and listening to it together. Each lesson in this book has a page of Family Musical Moment Notes in the data files on the CD+ as well as in reproducibles throughout the book's pages.
The included CD features orchestral tracks from the Naxos recording label, video performances of the lessons, and reproducible visuals and teaching aids. Pull out your favorite movement props and let the learning - and listening - begin!

Props for Props!
Posted: 18th September 2011
This resource is absolutely amazing! Artie has certainly set the bar high for future contributors of resource books about using props with listening lessons in the music classroom. The DVD recordings are wonderful because you can see young children participating in the activities and lessons and this proves that they are tried and true lesson ideas. The explanations in the book are well thought out and the printables are perfect for the age level. I will definitely be using this resource for years to come.
