Spring from Vivaldi's Four Seasons - Listening, Moving, & Mapping Activities

Celebrate the arrival of spring by engaging your students in Vivaldi's "Spring!" This set includes a two-page teaching guide, form-mapping cards for both younger and older students (Level I: ta, ti-ti, rest, ta-ah; and Level 2: ti-ti, ti-tiki, syncopa), printable and projectable sonnet text pages and score page, and links to music and additional resources.

This can be taught as a single lesson or extended with dance/movement creation or musical composition (suggestions included). I have used / adapted this activity with first grade through adult students with great success, and I hope you will find it useful and joyful as well.
