Olá do Brasil!
Hello from Brazil !
by Estêvão Marques
A SingOrff ZOOM Workshop Series
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Experience Music Games from Brazil in this meeting with the child's world of Brazilian popular culture. Songs, dances and rhythms that are used in commemorative celebrations on the streets are reinvented and brought to the classroom. Let's explore Brazilian percussion with spoons, music games, dances and melodies that tell stories. Beginning from the great richness of traditional folklore, we will keep it alive by re-creating it in imaginative ways. Each song creates an engaging scenario for different group activities, filled with educational concepts that are easily assimilated by the children.
These activities includes traditional instruments but also body percussion, spoons, buckets, balls, ping pong balls, table, cup, and many other alternative ways to make music.
We will need some materials:
- two spoons (wood, metal or hard plastic)
- a paper A4
- a masking tape
- a ping pong ball
- a ball (the size of a volleyball)
