The Carnival of the Animals DELUXE ACTIVE LISTENING KIT

Connecting the DOTS in Early Childhood

Put on your listening ears! We designed this kit specifically to help non-musically-trained teachers incorporate classical music into your early elementary classroom. You don't have to be a musician to appreciate music!

Each piece in the classical masterpiece, "The Carnival of the Animals" by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, hightlights a different animal, and is only a couple of minutes long, making it ideal for movement, games, and classroom management.

This kit will help your students develop strong active listening skills, learn to identify concepts sunch as high/low, loud/soft, fast/slow, and will open the door to exploring animals, instruments, movement and emotion. Music helps children learn through all their senses.
