Hours 12.00- 13.00

The beneficial effect of music on symmetrical human development has been known by the early 18th century and since then, many museum-educational studies have been made about musical intelligence and how it works.These museum-pedagogical approaches utilize the slightest kinetic and sound detail expressed by the child and thus steadily, the evolution of organized noises and sounds are transformed into a musical vocabulary since gradually the movements and expressions are identified with sound facts.

In addition to the channels of non-verbal communication and interpersonal communication created by museum-pedagogical methods, stress levels are reduced and feelings of satisfaction are enhanced.

It is not a few times that the selected sound stimuli, according to the needs of each child, have stimulated his curiosity, have increased his time of attention and concentration and have helped him to externalize his emotions.

 

Workshop supervisor: Michael Tobber

Participation is free of charge and is ensured by early parental phone communication.
