Our live-streamed concerts are an ideal opportunity to introduce your children to classical music concerts. You can talk to them throughout the concert to help them to engage with the music. You can encourage younger children to dance to the songs. Here are some questions that you might ask your children:
“How many people do you think are singing right now?”
“Are we listening to men’s voices, women’s voices or men and women singing together?”
“Do you know any of the special names for the high and low voices?” (Click here to download a worksheet introducing the terms soprano, alto, tenor and bass)
“Could you dance to this song? What kind of a dance would you make up for this song?”
“What was your favourite piece of music in the concert? Why did you especially like that song?”
“Let’s pretend that all the composers in this concert are in a competition to write the best piece of music for choir. Let’s pretend that you are the judge of the competition. Which composer will win first prize?”
A ticket to one of the ACC’s live-streamed concerts costs just $24 for your entire household.
