The volume offers new ideas to teachers who want to approach music in an innovative and transversal way compared to other learning in kindergarten. It offers poetic and theoretical reflections on making Music and Applied workshops to be experimented indoor and outdoor, the result of two decades of direct experience at school. Simple and clear suggestions and operating programmes are even suitable for those without in-depth musical knowledge.

The 8 workshops, designed for children aged 3 to 5 and conceived with an inclusive perspective, offer step by step instructions to carry out: musical activities of artistic creation, play and movement; practical ensemble music exercises with recycled materials; rhythms for playing and musical nursery rhymes; moments of listening to the sounds of the environment; research of animal verses and movements evoked by famous music.
