- STEP 1: Ask students to think about a favorite story or movie and describe their favorite characters or scenes. What did they look like? What did they sound like?
- STEP 2: Listen to a piece of program music (ie: Peter and the Wolf, Danse Macabre, etc) and ask students what each instrument sounds like, feels like and who or which it might be (ie: violin, sounds happy, like a small child)
- STEP 3: Develop a story for each character or event based upon what it sounded like.
- STEP 4: Reverse the process. Create a chart that has columns for object/event, looks like/feels like, and sounds like. Use their movie or story reference and fill in the chart. Create a piece of music using the sounds like column and a story sequence.
