    (Belgium)

    X Initiative in the choral world that encourages singing with children


    in primary education.
    Choral initiative that encourages singing with children as part of
    teacher training.

    Abstract/ short summary of the project

    Koor&Stem has developed new repertoire and material for primary


    school-aged children. In order to make this repertoire known in primary
    schools, Koor&Stem organizes singing projects at schools, during which
    (vocal) teachers from Koor&Stem give music and singing lessons to
    schoolteachers and pupils. Each project is adapted to the needs of the
    school, but basically, there are 3 sessions per age group (6-7 year, 8-9
    year, 10-11 year). The content of the sessions is mainly centred on the
    songbooks that are published by Koor&Stem. At the end of the sessions,
    it is possible to organize a short concert with live musicians.
    During the sessions, the professional teachers of Koor&Stem teach songs
    through working with rhythm, melody, movement and texts. In this way,
    children and their teachers can learn to sing and to make music in many
    different ways, but always creatively. Pupils are also stimulated to sing
    outside the school. Teachers get tools to work with the songs in the
    classroom by themselves. A cd has been developed with a vocal and
    instrumental version of the songs. This cd can be used in the classroom
    but also at home.
    The project is organised by schools themselves, but also by local
    authorities that want to stimulate music education at primary schools in
    their city.
    With this project, Koor&Stem wants to prove that singing should be a
    necessary activity at school, but also can be a fun moment with different
    groups together at school or at the cultural centre.
