Description:

A new way of learning about music through musical and interactive comics. The comics tell the adventures of 5 heroes (little animals) through which one or more basic principles, forms and building blocks of music are learned. The comic evokes the visual stimulation of the children and the words of the narrative rhyme rhythmically over the melody. Each workshop uses different interactive games that are directly tested in the children’s practice, speech and movement to ”click” the musical principles being taught.

A concise programme of learning musical principles through each comic story:

concepts of musical dynamics
types of rhythm and its variations
musical forms (canon, ABA, 3/4 dance)
The articulation of music
body orchestra (music-motor and rhythmic education)
speech and movement games
introduction to music reading
aural skills for pitch

Level:

This program is for all children ages 4-12.

No musical knowledge is required.

Program Structure:

Each game lasts 45 minutes and ”works” on a short story – comic strip. Up to 6 children can participate in each workshop. Participants are divided into age categories:

4 to 5 years old.
from 5 to 6 years old
from 6 to 8 years old

Pre-requisites: children from 6 to 6 years old, children from 5 to 6 years old, children from 6 to 6 years old and children from 6 to 6 years old:

All that is needed to conduct the games-workshops is a room/room with chairs. If a piano is available it would be desirable, but not necessary.

Project purpose:

This innovative music learning program was created with the main goal of introducing and introducing music to all children. It is simple, fun and effective because this knowledge stays with the child and motivates them to take up music.
