This film shows that if we persevere, our dreams can come true. Introduce your students to Martenot’s dream. How did he go about designing and building his instrument? What were his main challenges and achievements? Many artists in the film say they used and loved his instrument, but who are they and how exactly did they use it? What has become of his instrument today? How would your students use it?
