Music that Sounds Like Honey!

In The Tale of Despereaux, the mouse risks his life above the floorboards in the castle to hear the beautiful music that sounds like honey. In the arts-integrated novel study that I developed for this book, I invited students to find and share examples of music that sounded like honey. For me, that sound happens when I hear the perfectly harmonious notes of a symphony orchestra - so many instruments playing but contributing to one smooth sound! We are so lucky to have a Symphony Orchestra in Prince George. There are two concerts this fall that you could attend to document in your Individual Choice Assignment Blog, Scrapbook, or Sketchbook or represent somehow in your Arts-based Research or Construction project. Here is a link to the Prince George Symphony Orchestra homepage and the upcoming concerts are the Autumn Symphony on Oct. 4 and Beethoven: Hands and Spirit on Nov. 15.
