Bird Catcher

    This is a listening grid that is helpful for students to follow along as they listen to a piece of music. Each block represents one measure, and within some of the blocks, there are descriptions that indicate what is going on within the piece. Students tap the beat within each measure in order to follow along. Teachers, tap first with your copy to show them how to do it, then allow them to listen and tap on their own! This selection is the Bird catcher Aria, sung by Papageno in Act I, when he is introducing himself to Tamino and says that he killed the serpent!
