The volume offers educational ideas and workshops to teach music in primary school in an innovative and transversal way with the other subject areas. It combines poetic and theoretical reflections on making music with 10 interdisciplinary applicative workshops, with simple and clear operational programmes suitable for those without in-depth musical knowledge and dedicated to classes from first to fifth grade of primary school.

The workshops are complete with step-by-step instructions to create:

  • musical activities of artistic creation, play and movement;
  • practical exercises of ensemble music with recycled materials;
  • rhythmic fairy tales and musical rhymes;
  • moments of listening to the sounds of the environment;
  • evocative settings evoked by famous music.

Photocopiable scores and QR code
The appendix provides photocopiable scores for working in the classroom and, in the online resources and in the QR codes in the book, the beautiful original music by the author in mp3 format accompanying the activities, which is also very pleasant to listen to independently.
