Quote from EMP student 2022

Elemental Music Pedagogy

This course explores the wide range of artistic expression through music, language and movement.

The aims, content and methods of elementary music making, experimentation and creation in groups of different ages and purposes are covered.

The content is based on basic musical phenomena which are explored in an experimental, improvisational, creative and reproducible way on instruments, with the voice and in body movement.

The balance between "performing" (technical, reproductive) and "creative" (creative, productive) activities is always important.
