"This resource is packed full of good stuff, especially with the new updates. I don't feel like I do a very good job of teaching dance/music in our Arts Ed strands, so this was a handy resource as a way of guiding my teaching. I was surprised just how into the Nutcracker my students got!" - Nadine F.

The Nutcracker Mindful Listening Activity Sheets

Music Rating Guides - full color/black & white

Listening Sheet - There are no wrong answers! Students can note how they feel and what they imagine while listening to a selected piece of music. Choose from musical instruments, nature scenes, colors, and more.

Weather & Feelings - Weather is a recurring theme in classical music. Does a musical piece remind the listener of a snowy day or a pleasant sunny afternoon? Students can select the weather symbols that come to mind. Is the music happy or sad? A set of emotional characters allows your group to pick the feelings that best relate to a piece of music.
