Thinking way ahead, I love this video from the Piano Guys. The kids are always amazed that the inside of the piano can be played. (And it's not creepy like The Banshee!)

Debi-cool video about the organ in Macy's!!!

Kathy, that Autumn Canon is lovely!

# data[].attributes.body
Moving on past Halloween, my two favorite Thanksgiving songs are "Five Fat Turkeys" AND "The Turkey Song" from Jill Trinka's My Little Rooster.

# data[].attributes.body
The beautiful Autumn Canon by Hungarian composer Lajos Bárdos is great for reinforcement of the descending natural minor scale. The notation below is in my Livebinder.com collection.

Skin & Bones is one of my favorites. Love this video with words and simple animation.

The world's largest playable organ can be found on the 2nd floor of Macy's in Philadelphia and has been part of the store's holiday tradition since 1911. Richard Schlesinger reports.

I love In the Hall of Mountain King - I have a listening map that we use, a game for the younger grades to play, and simple movements from John Jacobson that get progressively more difficult throughout the song. It's a great way to talk about slow/fast and soft/loud. I usually always start by telling the story of Peer Gynt and I have fun with it each year!

Henry Cowell's prepared piano piece "The Banshee" is great listening for older kids around this time of year. I challenge the kids to figure out what instrument they hear; they usually guess an instrument with strings, but they have a hard time figuring out that it's a piano being played from the inside.

I just found this one on Schubert's Erlking! It's probably a bit too creepy for my students, but I enjoyed it quite a bit! It's not specifically related to Halloween, but it definitely fits the mood. :)

Schubert - Erl King Lyrics: Goethe Tenor: Ian Bostridge Lyrics: Who rides, so late, through night and wind? It is the father with his child. He has the boy well in his arm He holds him safely, he keeps him warm. "My son, why do you hide your face so anxiously?"
