Teaching music through the body & the voice

This course is designed to help those who teach children aged 2 - 7 years to develop their students’ musicianship through the voice, and through natural body movement. This 1-day course organised by Stepping Notes, will be taking place on the 15th February 2010 at The Jurgens Centre, in Egham, Surrey. The day will concentrate on the following areas:

 

1. using the body and the voice to help children to feel and understand rhythm, melody and harmony;

2. teaching musical literacy using singing and movement;

3. choosing and using children’s instruments in such a way as to preserve and enhance their co-ordination and sense of rhythm.

 

During this course, a large number of wonderful songs and activities will be learnt. Multi-sensory teaching aids will be used, and many different instruments will be played. Information will be provided about sources of further training, books, materials, teaching aids & instruments. Participants should come willing to remove their shoes and socks and work barefoot, on the floor, to sing, to play and to move!
