Vivaldi's Summer A Multisensory Music Journey

Bring classical music to life through sensory storytelling, props, movement, interaction, and creative exploration.
 
This resource supports practitioners to bring the dramatic story behind Vivaldi’s Summer to life through a series of accessible sensory experiences linked to the three movements of the music.
 
Learners are invited to explore the sounds, rhythms, and changing moods of the concerto using tactile props, scents, movement, visual effects, and sensory-rich interactions.
 
These experiences offer opportunities for meaningful sensory exploration, communication, anticipation, choice-making, creativity, and shared interaction. Each experience can be explored at the learner’s own pace, with opportunities to participate in their own way.
 
Designed for PMLD, SEND, and sensory learners, the resource includes:
 
• A simple explanation of the story behind Vivaldi’s Summer
• Sensory activities linked to each of the three musical movements
• Props, preparation guidance, facilitation ideas, and sensory prompts
• Learning and engagement outcomes throughout
• A themed sensory art and mark-making extension activity
• Guidance on sensory safety and inclusive practice
 
Perfect for music sessions, sensory storytelling, creative arts, seasonal learning, and immersive classroom experiences.
