Peter and the Wolf/Sergei Prokofiev
(Elementary students)Objective: Students will learn to identify the different instrumentsof the orchestra as each character in the musical fairy tale,
Peter and the Wolf
, by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev, is played bya different instrument. Identifying orchestra instruments is part of our first grade curriculum. Our music teacher and I teamed up andplanned for this activity, which she did with all first grade classesduring the time we were doing fairy tales with Baba Yaga in thelibrary! Students were shown the different instrument groups,which were color coded on poster-size pictures: strings, brass,percussion, and woodwinds. Individual handouts show theinstruments in those groups and the characters in
Peter and theWolf.
After reading the story, discussing, and listening to theinstruments in the recording of
Peter and the Wolf
, the studentsidentified the instruments of the orchestra that were representingeach character in the story. Then they matched the instrument toits group (strings/brass/percussion/woodwinds.)Resources: Sergei Prokofiev’s story & music, Peter and the Wolf,with a fully orchestrated & narrated CD, illustrated by PeterMalone.
