Inspired by Prokofiev6 November 2023 (by raustin) |
In Music, Year 3 have been learning about the composer Sergei Prokofiev. We were fascinated to hear that he composed 'Peter and the Wolf' because he wanted to teach children about the different sections in an orchestra. After reading 'Peter and the Wolf' we created compositions to accompany the start of the story. Using our knowledge of timbre, we carefully selected instruments to compose different effects including the gentle breeze, the rustling leaves and the drifting clouds. Our final composition took the audience away from the hustle and bustle of London Fields and to a luscious green meadow instead!
