Get your Nutcracker Ballet tickets in time for the holiday season.Act I It’s a cozy Christmas Eve at the Stahlbaum’s house. Their house is decorated with Christmas ornaments, wreaths, stockings, mistletoe and in the center of it all, a majestic Christmas tree. As the Stahlbaum’s prepare for their annual Christmas party, their children, Fritz and Clara, wait anxiously for their family and friends to arrive.

When the guests finally appear, the party picks up with dancing and celebration. The party grows late and the children become sleepy. At the stroke of midnight Clara wakes up to a frightening scene. Clara falls onto the Nutcracker’s bed, over-whelmed by the moment. Kids Fun Page. Kids Fun Page Direct from the Nutcracker Coloring Book, now you can print a full page picture and have fun coloring.

Overture from the Nutcracker Ballet

Listen to the stressed notes. Songs are broken up into small bites called measures. Each measure contains a certain amount of beats. 2, 3, and 4 are the most common number of beats in a measure, but there are other possibilities also. Beat one of every measure is usually played a little louder than other beats. While listening to the Overture, listen for the stressed beats and count number one on each.

At the beginning of most sheet music you will find two numbers on top of each other on the top left staff. The top number tells how many beats are in each measure. . ~ Whole rests look like a line with a small box underneath - 4 beats of resting or silence. ~ Half rests look like a line with a small box on top (like a top hat) - 2 beats of rest. ~ Quarter rests look like a little wiggly line almost the same size of the staff vertically - 1 beat of rest.
