These lesson plans cover a 5-week span but could easily be adapted for a shorter or longer period of time. If you have access to the real instruments then they could be used rather than pictures/photos. This has been put together using lots of different internet resources and ideas. Includes YouTube links to animated videos featuring each different movement from the composition.

This has some really great ideas for introducing the instruments as well as a wonderful piece of music! However, there is a major mistake in the Week 2 lesson. People who study fossils are called PALEONTOLOGISTS, not ARCHAEOLOGISTS. HUGE difference!

For someone that does not play a musical instrument this has opened up a whole new avenue for ways of teaching music to adults with learning disabisablites - thanks for a great idea.
