Description
This Vivaldi’s Four Seasons Piano Camp will introduce your young students to a year of music, going through each season from Spring through Winter. It works perfectly as a week-long, four-day camp, or as a month-long once-a-week class. This camp includes the following lesson plans: Spectacular Spring, Sizzling Summer, Amazing Autumn and Wondrous Winter. It also includes the Vivaldi’s Four Seasons Camp Planner, which includes 19 pages of camp planning forms and materials.
Students will explore the four seasons through song, play, stories, movement, listening and art. Musical concepts covered in this four-lesson camp include: high and low, introduction to the keyboard, introduction to the musical staff, solfege, singing a scale, fast and slow, composition, beat, rhythm, one note versus many notes (chords), and more! Students will learn some music terminology (lento, largo, vivace, andante, tempo, staff, keyboard, etc.). They will make and take home several fun crafts (a springtime scene, paper flower hats, wearable fairy wings and turtle shells, a homemade drum and a snowman craft). Children will be introduced to several pieces of classical music, including Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter from Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons; To Spring by Edvard Grieg; Summertime by George Gershwin; Summer Fairy by Sergei Prokofiev; Tortoises from Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saens; Flying Leaves by Carl Kolling; and Troika by Sergei Prokofiev.
But most importantly, students will play, jump, dance, sing, move, explore, listen, create, and have a blast as they experience and discover the joy of music!
Includes sheet music, craft templates, 4 student take-home books, clipart and printable teaching resources, and much more! 363 pages. Digital download.

I used this program last year with my students during the summer. We met every day for one week. The program was easy to adapt for my students. They enjoyed the music & craft/costumes – everyone wanted to be a turtle :).

Thanks for the comment, Brooke! I’m so glad your students had a blast – I’ll bet those little turtles were adorable!
