ENGNils Īle’s Music Studio offers EDUCATIONAL JOURNIES INTO THE WORLD OF SOUND AND RHYTHM FOR GRADES 1-12
This means a 90 minute long educational programme, in which young people are introduced to the world of rhythm, have the opportunity to test percussion instruments from many cultures, and collaborate to create a unique musical composition.
What are percussion instruments?
Percussion instruments are musical instruments that create sounds by striking, shaking, rubbing or otherwise causing vibration. Percussion instruments include many unconventional instruments such as the human voice and body, and many imaginative creations derived from naturally occurring materials, such as dried nuts, gourds, wood, rocks, water, horses hooves, etc.
What does this musical journey develop in children?
Coordination, daring, listening skills, the ability to work in a team, a feel for rhythm, creative imagination, improvisation, and analytical thought.
