Introduction to Music: The Frozen World

Lesson Overview

Welcome, Year 5! Today, we are embarking on a frosty musical adventure into the enchanting world of Frozen. Get ready to discover how music can transport us to cold and magical places! We will explore themes from the movie Frozen, delve into the emotions conveyed through the soundtrack, and even create our own musical pieces inspired by icy lands.

Icebreaker Activity: Musical Snowflakes

To kick off our lesson, let’s start with a fun icebreaker activity called Musical Snowflakes!

What You’ll Need:

• A selection of your favourite Frozen songs (e.g., "Let It Go", "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?")
• A space to move around the classroom
• A piece of paper and a pencil for each student

Activity Steps:

1. Listen and Reflect: We will listen to a short snippet from one of the songs from Frozen. Pay attention to the instruments, rhythms, and emotions you feel while listening.

2. Create Your Snowflake: After listening, take a piece of paper and draw a snowflake. Each point of your snowflake will represent a different feeling you experienced while listening to the music.

3. Share Your Snowflake: Once everyone has finished, we will sit in a circle and share one point from our snowflake. Why did that feeling resonate with you? How does music help express different emotions?

Discussion:

After sharing, we will discuss how music in films can enhance the storytelling experience. We'll consider:

• How does the music make you feel?
• Why do you think certain instruments were chosen to represent the themes in Frozen?

Transition to Main Lesson:

As we dive deeper into today’s lesson, think about how elements of nature, like ice and snow, can be reflected in music. We will explore how composers use different instruments and melodies to evoke the cold, beauty, and magic of a frozen world.

Let’s get started on our musical journey! ❄️🎶
