Young Musicians’ Summer Sessions
From 20 – 31 July, our Young Musicians’ Summer School is being reinvented as it moves online. There are four projects on offer, each one designed to develop your skills and experience in a specific area of music-making. Get creative this summer and pursue your musical passion as you connect up with inspirational tutors from Trinity Laban and young musicians from around the world!
What’s so good about Beethoven?: Symphony No. 8 by Beethoven
- Type of Resource: Music
- Age Range: Key Stage 3 – Age 11 – 13
Originally made for KS2 teachers and their pupils, this home learning resource provides a thorough introduction to a piece of symphonic music and to the orchestra that older children can explore by themselves, with lots of tips for closer listening, background information, and some creative exercises to encourage your own music-making.
What you’ll need at home: Just download the PDF (and print it out if you can), and a device to listen to the music from the Spotify playlist provided. To try out the creative exercises you’ll need objects that make sounds, or even better a musical instrument or two!
