BBC Teach have been providing a way to explore the world of classical music with 7-14 year olds with their Ten Pieces series. Each week, you can get involved with a creative activity exploring a classical theme, starting with a short film to watch. Here is an overview of what has been covered so far:

• Write a poem inspired by a journey with Simon Mole...
• Tell a story with your very own body percussion music...
• Draw a portrait and write a musical memory...
• Sing with the BBC Singers...
• Things are getting dramatic! (Become a mythical warrior ...)
• Create your own 3D sculpture...
• Illustration inspired by Stravinsky's 'The Firebird'
• Learn and perform Cuban rhythms inspired by Bernstein's 'Mambo'...
• Write your own story inspired by a mythical creature...
• Create a news bulletin with the help of CBBC's Newsround...
• Get moving and create turntable inspired choreography with Sadler's Wells…
