Here are a few videos that we watch in class throughout the year. Students often love them so much that they ask me how they can find them to watch at home! Please enjoy these safe links!
The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra performing "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Grieg. It includes great close-ups of instrumentalists. It is a very exciting piece! We learn about "piano," "forte," and "crescendo" from this famous composition.
This is a wonderful animation synchronized perfectly to "In The Hall of the Mountain King." Students of all ages ask to see this one over and over again!
When we study opera, we watch this delightful video of the humorous duet "Papageno" from Mozart's opera, "The Magic Flute."
Another contrasting example of a duet from an opera. This is the beautiful "Evening Prayer" from the opera "Hansel and Gretel."
"The Queen of the Night" is a famous opera solo from "The Magic Flute." This is the ultimate example of a soprano!
Every student must experience the famous cello prodigy Yo-Yo Ma! Here he is performing Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major.
