Victor's Frightful Journey - A Narrated Tale with String Accompaniment

Created by

Orchestruggles

A narrated tale with string accompaniment! Orchestra students have a very important part in supplying the sound effects for this story as they learn new bowing techniques including: Bowing behind the bridge, Tremolos, Glissandos, Taps, Knocks, Trills, Harmonics, and more! A perfect supplemental activity during the spooky season- I do this every year with my students and created a slideshow with animations to enhance the story!

I have done Orchestra Karate in the past and found it is a great way to keep students engaged as we work through a method book. I've found lots of Book 1 guides- but nothing about Book 2! I decided to create my own Book 2 orchestra curriculum- and carefully selected songs to assess the techniques to be mastered in Essential Elements Book 2 over the course of a school year. My Essential Elements Book 2 Orchestra Karate Curriculum is split into 3 sections of Orchestra Karate levels: Novice - Int

Experience

Teaching style

Since the learning process in music is forever ongoing, my approach to instrumental music instruction is to instill curiosity into the young minds of my students so that they can benefit from forming their own personal relationships with music.
