Hail (tempo, dynamics, character)
This piece of music is from a longer work called The Seasons, composed by Glazunov.
The children could listen first and suggest words to describe the music, such as like quick footsteps or like running. You may need to supply appropriate words because describing music will be a new concept for many children of this age. Next, you might ask the children to move with quick, little steps to the music. Using dance scarves could enable some children to make the shape of the music getting gradually louder, then quieter - if you do this too, they will get the idea more easily.
