Turn this one on during quiet moments of your day.While it might not get them up and dancing, you can still create meaningful experiences around a calmer piece. It can feel more challenging to engage our little ones with a slower piece of music. It’s a gorgeous slow movement (marked “Largo”) that represents some peaceful moments inside by the fire on a cold, stormy day. Today we also wanted to introduce the second movement. Get creative with how you experience the howling wind sections together (a gentle tickle or blow? A scarf blowing around them?). Your little one may or may not make it through the whole piece, and that is just fine! (Just as a heads up, there is some musical “running” and “teeth chattering” towards the end of the movement!)įor little ones who are too small to play an instrument, you can help them feel the beat by tapping their body or moving their legs or arms to the beat. You could also get a little fancier with some wind actions of your own during the “windy” solo violin sections. When the violin comes in with the howling wind we simply stop playing, cup a hand over an ear to represent “listening” and resume playing the rhythm instruments when the steady beat comes back. The steady beat “shivering” sections are perfect for practicing playing a steady beat. We might choose rhythm sticks or a drum - feel free to pull out the wooden spoons, or get creative with your own found instruments. This involves some type of rhythm instrument. Today we have an alternate activity for the same movement which is just as simple. Last month we shared a simple “stuffed animal choreography” activity for you and your kiddo to engage with the first movement of Vivaldi’s Winter.
