So here's the story...
Alice has a cat named Dinah. Dinah has two kittens - black Kitty and white Snowdrop. Kitty and Snowdrop love playing together. They are best of friends. On a hot afternoon, Alice dreams that she is curious of a talking rabbit and chase after it. She falls into the rabbit hole - deeper and deeper. The student plays this tune (page 15) twice - second time to play E flat for all Es. They can describe the change of mood in their own words. Encourage them, give them confidence and guide them in their answers. Maybe some descriptive words or adjectives to help them make themselves clearer?
The Garden of Live Flowers scene is chosen at this point. I like the interaction between Alice and the flowers. With this conversation mode in mind, I hope teachers can also interact with your students making your lessons fun and interesting. A summary of the Garden of Live Flowers scene can be found on Game 1 & Game 2 on pages 60 and 61.
I shall post more on pieces other than the Flowers on the next post.....
