Ask students to arrange pictures in correct sequence. Ask students to identify pictures with instruments. You may want to present pictures of instruments and have the class match tone colors to their pictures. Part 3 Discuss how imagery can be used to tell a story in musical compositions. Ask for suggestions as to how the students might use their bodies to illustrate the images that the music evokes.
Evaluation Ask students to tell a story about what they heard in the music.
Check students' responses for the extent to which they are able to match instruments, themes, and pictorial representations. Check students' use of musical vocabulary in the matching task. Background for Teachers Read the poem Danse Macabre. Listen for how the composer created musical images that represent the poem. Extensions Extend children's imagery by using creative movement.
