Nightingale Sounds

Unit Overview:

This integrated unit is written to be used by the music teacher and/or the classroom teacher. It correlates with the John F. Kennedy Center’s production of The Nightingale. This dance-theatre production is an adaptation of the story written by Hans Christian Anderson. These lessons can be taught before or after students see the performance of The Nightingale, but they can be used even without attending the performance.
