Blooming Ditty & Cradle (of) Art: hEAR DROPS episodes with focus on the voice 

Presentation and workshop by Kirsten Halle, University of Stavanger (NO) ‘Teachers musical practice – The human voice’

Connecting with newborn babies is all about musicality. In these situations, we intuitively become musicians, knowing that the only language the baby understands is our communicative musicality.

How can we as educators enforce the teacher’s musical practice, so that they find themselves as musicians also in the classrooms?

In this workshop we will explore the voice and our innate musicality. Trying out different melodies and musical variations based on the pentatonic scale. Trying out various melodies and rhythmical patterns  based on creativity and play. Together we will discuss how these can be useful in your classrooms and how this can relate to your teaching practice.
