The NutcrackerListening Guides for Kids
Awaken wonder & creativity through the most famous and beloved Christmas piece of all time.
Growing up with a mother who was a ballet dancer and who never failed to take us to Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker each December (along with the other classic ballets!), I experienced the magic of Tchaikovsky’s score every year.
In December of 2020 as I reflected on how many children would miss out on experiencing Tchaikovsky’s ballet live, I decided to create a guide that would bring some of that magic into family’s homes.
I had so much fun diving deep into Tchaikovsky’s magnificent score, drawing out musical elements that sharpen little ears and tap into a child’s natural wonder and imagination.
I hope this Guide can bring some music magic into each of your homes this Christmas Season!
