Educational resources
The NAC’s latest teacher resource kit, Vivaldi and the Four Seasons, will be distributed to every elementary school in Alberta and Saskatchewan in October 2005. The kit features Aboriginal artwork, storytelling and other cultural references, and includes a complimentary copy of the CBC Records Vivaldi: Four Seasons CD featuring Pinchas Zukerman and the NAC Orchestra. It will be used as the curriculum unit to help teachers prepare students for the Student Matinees in Grande Prairie and Prince Albert, as well as for two special projects in connection with the NACO Tour, both involving the participation of Aboriginal students.
The guide is available in English and French and can be downloaded from here for free.
