Activity #2: Music Through Animation
Flamingos-from Fantasia 2000 Music by: Camille Saint Saens Carnival of the Animals
See how Disney animators were inspired by a piece of music written by a French composer to create this short piece called Flamingos.
Activity #3: Piano Roll
Here is another way to show music in a visual way. Watch the piano player play a famous piece by Beethoven called Fur Elise. The colors match the keys being played on the piano. Notice they also show the length of the notes being played.
Activity #4: Music through Illustration
We'll finish up with a famous picture book by Eric Carle I See a Song. I love how this video has animated the illustrations and added music to enhance the story! Enjoy!
