MUSIC AND PLAY: Workshop for Babies and Parents
Zvezdana Novaković's music workshops are based on the methods of Dalcroze, Orff, and Kodály. These methods aim to teach the child not just to be a listener but also a creator and performer of music.
During the music session, Zvezdana will welcome and greet you with the sounds of the harp and other instruments. Through many musical games, you and your child will listen and respond, imitate and learn various compositions, and move sequentially to them. You will repeat musical and rhythmic phrases and transfer them to different instruments, sing songs, and travel through various musical stories with puppet storytelling.
The workshop "Music and Play" is for children from 6 months to 1 year.
