Ballet of Unhatched Chicks

Consider using the book "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Anna Harwell Celenza as a visual learning support and to provide some historic background for this piece of music.

The two maps at this link (and embedded below) can be used for the Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks. The first page is more simple for use with younger students and has simple icons to represent the main ideas of the melody. The second page is more complex for use with older students and has more complex icons to represent melodic contour.
