Have your footprints followed the ‘Mozart trail’?
The Mozart trail starts with some nice Kid’s Mozart links that are suitable for Primary School children. Further resources are available from the Kid’s Mozart home page
Teachers intending to use the links in class will need to check that the school’s Internet filter allows the links. My school’s ‘websense’ filter is a ‘nonsense’ because Kids Mozart and the following Creative Kids Central link to Rimsky-Korsakov’s ‘Scheherezade’ are blocked on the ‘games’ filter. If you find the same problem, don’t despair!! The Local Education Authority or the filter company provider should be able to unblock educational links on request.
The ‘Secondary’ Mozart trail features ‘Eine Kleine Nachtmusik’ and a fun listening quiz from the BBC. 2009 additions include Mix Match Mozart quizzes. The trail also features an interactive score of Piano Sonata in C (K.545) and ends with the entire opera ‘Don Giovanni’.
Do you need some more Mozart links? Try the excellent listening activites available from Classics for Kids – Mozart with pdf files for download. Anyone with further activity ideas for the ‘Mozart trail’ please add your comments here or submit a link
