The aim of the project is to present music to children in an interactive way by listening to concert pieces and actively participating together with the performers. We will try to introduce children to some basic concepts of music through listening, analysis and some musical activities by presenting different pieces by country, style, trend, dynamics and rhythm. They will be taught to recognize dynamic differences and interact through body movements; to recognize major and minor melody, to repeat the rhythms of the compositions played and to interact with the music with complementary rhythms, with other instruments accompanying the musicians and much more.

Further goals of the project are:

• Through live listening, the children experience a live concert, they personally observe the instruments and interact with the musicians.
• The moment of listening also develops analytical skills.
• By working in a group, the child learns to cooperate with others and to listen to each other, thus improving their social skills.
• Discovery of the musical expression of the voice and body.
• Discovery of the different musical instruments by listening and playing.
  

... and much more!

Every child can learns to draw, to read and to write. So can every child alsolearn to write music, in just a few steps.
The workshop for Inventin, Improvising & Creating Music aims to get children in the mood for music-making through conventional (the musical alphabet we all know) and/or unconventional musical language (graphic symbols, letters, signs, shapes, gestures and much more). Musical improvisation is the first spontaneous and exploratory approach to the musical and/or instrumental language. Through improvisation, music is created without having to have musical knowledge. The composition brings this first improvisational result into the structure and organization of the musical material. Through this workshop, the child will of course also learn the elements of musical language (dynamics, tone colors, pitch, rhythm, etc.) more deeply.

Further goals of the project are:

• Development of analytical skills.
• Personal experience with the instruments through own improvisation and trying out.
• Development of creative skills.
• By working in a group, the child learns to work together with others and to listen to each other, thereby improving his or her social skills.
• Promotion of creativity.

"Team work" is an important aspect in the society. Since we were children, each of us has learned, through school experience, to cooperate with other children an to be part of a group, sharing different aspects of their life and their personality.

Music is also an important point in our education, also being able to play a musical instrument. Each of us should be familiarized with music in order to live it and make it part of our own lives. The best solution would therefore certainly be to learn to play a musical instrument. Listening to an impressive melody is certainly nice, but what could be better than being able to play it? Playing is beautiful, playing is educational, playing is creative ... playing is for everyone, from childhood to old age.

Children will discover instruments, create sounds, learn to read music, analyze works and learn to play.
