Music

The Music is around us all the time, made from the nature or us and is something that can affect humans very much. In the Casa, Music is part of the culture area in the Montessori environment. There they can sing, dance and play different instruments. That helps the children's ability in discriminating the sounds.

• Vad ska läras ut? The children get to learn many songs, melodies which are authentic for that country in which they live and also worldwide famous songs. With the dance movements, they learn to coordinate their body and move in a rhythm, learn what rhythm is as well. The children can learn how to make music with different instruments and their voices. They also learn to read and write music. 

• Varför? Preparation for music.

• Hur ska undervisningen genomföras? There is music played from time to time in the classroom - children's, classical or some other style of music. We have music books and small songs booklets in our environment where the children can use them with or without adults. There are small size instruments for the children to use and learn to play. We have pictures on the wall with music notes and famous composers where the children can look at on their level size.

• Hur ska reflektion tillsammans med barnen organiseras? During the circle time we sing songs, playing some instruments, dance on a music and discuss about what we are doing.
