It is a proven fact that orchestral music has a hugely positive impact on children’s emotional wellbeing and we have seen that impact in and out of the classroom. As we enter a new term in the darkest part of the year, why not share Kidenza's 'Music Un-Raveled film' with your children and boost their mood (whilst sharing some great educational content).
About the Film
Music UnRavelled is a 25 minute film featuring Kidenza's small ensemble and 2 pieces - Ravel's Bolero and Mozart's Rondo All Turka. It's a great resource packed full of interesting facts not only about the pieces but about the instruments too. Use it as a stand alone lesson or as a taster to whet yours and your pupils appetites. It'll also give you a sneaky preview of Kidenza's small ensemble should you decide to have them come and perform at our school.
