5. How many of you have ever been to the ocean
How many of you have ever been to the ocean? Today we are going to make an imaginary trip there. Close your eyes. Picture what it looks like and listen to the music. See if you can really feel as through you are on a boat in the middle of the ocean. Can you feel the movement of the oceans? Now I’m going to give you some help with your imagination. I have a bottle of water and I’m going to spray you lightly to make you feel as though you are at the ocean.
Before I spray you, remember we are trying to create a peaceful day on the water, so feel calmness, keep your eyes closed, and make believe you are sitting in that boat and the sea spray is blowing in your face. This is a piece of music that the composer tried to make sound like the ocean. A composer writes music. (Spray here)
This piece of music and the painting I’m going to show you, tell the story of Sinbad the Sailor.
