Sound Travels #3 - How does music make us feel?

When the children were playing the sound guessing game, Sebastien suddenly took off his headset and said, "I'm scared." This started our exploration of how music makes us feel.
We listened to two pieces of music. One is from a collection of halloween music and the other "My First Minuet" from Baby Mozart.

It was interesting to see the children's reflections and comparisons after listening to the two pieces of music. Most children from the group thought the halloween song to be scary but Nate liked the music. He thinks it is funny. Most children found "My First Minuet" to be calming. Jack said, "It reminds me of a person dreaming."
Then the children painted while listening to the music. Afterwards, they were asked to describe their feelings and what they have painted.
