If you enjoy the movie “Up,” here is the 4 minute clip from the movie of the life journey between Ellie and Carl- no words are used. Can you hear how the music helps tell you what is going on? Make sure to listen for Ellie’s Adventure theme throughout. Can you hear the violin solo? Notice when the music goes quickly and when it goes slowly. What emotions did the music evoke in you?
