Lesson 2.1 How Music Makes Us Feel

Aim: 
Today we will listen to and compare two pieces of music from The Planets by Gustav Holst. We will then use a musical description word bank to describe how the music makes us feel.

Be Inspired! 
In this episode of Classic Kids, Thea Rossen guides you through Gustav Holst's interstellar suite The Planets. Bring your clapping hands, your singing voice and stamping feet to join it from home!
 


Check it out: 
Listen to the pieces of music called Mars and Venus. How do they make you feel? Use some of the words below to help you describe your feelings?




Do it yourself: 
Can you have a go at creating a piece of music of your own. Think about the feelings you would like to create in your music. 






Extension:
When you have finished your composition please send me the link to your music via your Seesaw account.

Fun:
Once you have finished have some fun with Blob Opera!
