A Musical Journey with Ferdinand the Bull
Project Description
The well know children's book, The Story of Ferdinand, written by Munro Leaf and illustrated by Robert Lawson, is brought to life through narration and music from Bizet's opera Carmen. This entertaining and gentle approach explores themes such as conformity, aggression, and individual differences. You will also meet the instrumental members of a woodwind quintet, and learn how they leverage their differences to make music together.
The book narration can be reserved in English and/or in Spanish. This is a great opportunity to integrate the arts into a Spanish classroom!
Teachers who reserve this resource can also choose to book a FREE follow up "Artist Talk" with Dr. Kyra Zhang via Zoom.
