ABOUT THE PROJECT

The project is based on active listening to music. Children during the project work will try to translate the language of music into various codes of art like painting or movement.
Thanks to the fusion of activities :musical and movement, the child will learn how to harmonize the movement element with sounding music. Moreover, the child will be able to hear and distinguish the rhythm of the composition being listened to. In the meantime the young listener will also acquire and develop skills needed to describe music in verbal and non verbal ways e.g. using art techniques such as pantomime, drama, painting etc.

TARGET

-To express oneself through music, movement and art activities
