Today’s episode is all about cats!
- We listen to some of the cat excerpts from Peter and the Wolf, learn about the clarinet, discuss and practice the differences between the dynamic markings of forte and piano.
- We learn a Kitty Cat Hat Game to the melody of the clarinet/cat theme from Peter and the Wolf. Grab a hat for this activity and have fun! Lyrics written by Kate Lieppman
Call me cat, kitty cat
I can wear a hat
Or take it off and sneak it over to my friend
