A story set to music
I set Sophia, who has only had access to a second hand piano for four months, a few musical tasks.
She initially had to make a gloomy tune, a happy, cheery tune and one with a tone of suspense. She nailed it.
I then asked her to form a story through the music. It was beautiful to watch her create this piece.
She sat and told me the story afterwards which she then wrote up as a handwriting practice.
Sophia drew a story board, starting with the Princess in the Castle with her parents in the main room. She moves to the kitchen and has a snack from her mum the Queen. She then goes out to pick apples from the King's tree and the story plays out with a lot more embellishments and characters than previously imagined.
