Peter and The Wolf

At Journey Montessori we have been listening to a new character in Peter and the Wolf each week and discussing what family each instrument belongs to.  So far we know that Peter is played by the string family, the bird is played by the flute, the duck by the oboe, and the cat by the clarinet which are all part of the woodwind family. 


This week we added Grandpa who is played by the Bassoon (also a member of the woodwind family).  We discussed the size of the bassoon and its low sound.

On May 5th The Charlotte Symphony will be playing Peter and the Wolf for their final Lollipops concert of the season!  I encourage you to take your children to the performance this weekend and the one in May!  My kids have gone since they were tiny and they LOVE the concerts!


The students really seem to be enjoying Peter and the Wolf at school.
