May Flowers

Welcome back to Busy Kids Love Music! In today’s episode, we’re celebrating the blossoming beauty of spring with classical music inspired by flowers! This episode is the perfect follow-up to our April Showers adventure, and it’s all about music that captures the feeling of blooming gardens, delicate petals, and peaceful springtime scenes. 🌸 Here’s what we’re listening to today: Waltz of the Flowers by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky – A graceful dance from The Nutcracker ballet that brings a garden of twirling flowers to life. Voices of Spring (Frühlingsstimmen) by Johann Strauss II – A joyful waltz celebrating the arrival of spring, with sparkling melodies and fluttering flutes. (Psst… you’ll recognize the opening from the podcast theme!) Flower Duet from Lakmé by Léo Delibes – A stunning vocal duet that transports us to a peaceful riverside garden, blooming with flowers and calm. 🌷 Imagination Prompts: As you listen, picture yourself surrounded by colorful blossoms, dancing petals, and chirping birds. What does the music feel like? What colors or movements do you imagine? 🎨 Extras for Today’s Episode: 🎵 YouTube Playlist featuring full-length performances of each piece 🖍️ Printable Flower Coloring Page to enjoy while listening 📣 Reminder: This episode airs during Busy Kids Do Piano’s spring public enrollment period!
