This
Holiday classic title gives students an outlet for exploring their own
appreciation of music, while sharpening their listening and problem-solving
skills and improving understanding of the basic concepts of music. The
Nutcracker Music Game is an interactive adventure that celebrates music by
challenging kids through participation and exciting game play. The premise
of the program is to save the Nutcracker by earning nine golden keys through
a series of musical games and activities that teach students about
differences between sounds, exercises their memory skills, and increases
their music vocabulary.
The Nutcracker Music Game offers
unique teaching tools, such as the ability to demonstrate, right in the
classroom, every instrument of the orchestra and its interaction with other
musical instruments. “What
is so impressive about this CD-ROM is how much fun kids had while really
putting their musical ears to the test”-The National Parenting Center
report. The program is accompanied with easily printable supplemental
student hand-outs, quizzes, crossword puzzles and other helpful teaching
materials.
In addition to its engaging and educational musical
games, puzzles and riddles, the program features an animated Encyclopedia of
Musical Instruments, an extensive Listening Room, Tchaikovsky's biography,
the Nutcracker story, a History of
the Nutcracker ballet, Music Trivia and more.
