{"product_id":"the-raccoon-philosopher-danai-gagne-9781902455181","title":"The Raccoon Philosopher: For Voice and Orff Instruments - Performance Score","description":"(Schott). Organized in two sections: Section One provides a series of rhythmic and musical preparations in mixed and irregular meters (with emphasis on 7\/8, based on excerpts from The Raccoon Philosopher. Ideas are explored for studying specific meters to be moved, played and sung within the mini-musical. Extensions are suggested for other curricular uses under 'interdisciplinary connection.' Section Two is the complete mini-musical, The Raccoon Philosopher, which embraces mixed and irregular meter concepts, along with playing, singing, moving and creating. This section also includes staging and costuming suggestions, speech play, songs, movement\/choreography ideas and Orff orchestrations. In both sections, true to the Orff-Schulwerk philosophy, it is the authors' intent that the process be engaging and open-ended, and that it be treated as importantly as the materials that are provided. Students and teachers are invited not only to enjoy the mini-musical suggestions, but also to revel in the preparatory work where their ideas may ultimately enhance and enliven the final performance. - Develop musical skills using recorders and tuned and untuned percussion instruments - Develop children's voices - Lively, fun material suitable for performance - To offer students opportunities to read, explore, move and have experiences with mixed and irregular metres in a playful and engaging way - To familiarize students with stage terms and vocabulary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Danai Gagne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1902455185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781902455181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.70h x 8.80w x 0.30d","brand":"Danai Gagne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486237798655,"sku":"9781902455181","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d618545c-003f-465d-9a55-6ec5f66203e2.jpg?v=1778054489","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-raccoon-philosopher-danai-gagne-9781902455181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
