Introduction to Music through Play M1, M2 & P1 Tuesday 15:05

Activity Description

The purpose of this course is to instil in children a memory of musical events linked to almost exclusively playful activities. It is known, in fact, that the longest-lived memories are those linked to emotions. For this reason, I have created a course of games that deals with the two macro-areas of "musical science", that is, sound and rhythm, proposing games that prepare children for the extemporaneous decoding of sound events. Intercalating few but fundamental graphic elements that will be presented in the form of drawings to color and possibly hang in their room.
