Weekly Themes
Week 1 – Roots of Rhythm: From the Body to the Drum/ Raíces del Ritmo: Del Cuerpo al Tambor - Students explore the foundations of music through body percussion before transferring those skills to drums. Through playful, hands-on activities, they connect their natural sense of rhythm to instruments while building coordination and confidence. This week introduces music as something we feel, move to, and create together.
Week 2 – Music and Storytelling: Telling Stories Without Words/ Música y Narrativa: Contar Historias Sin Palabras - Students discover how music can tell powerful stories without words. Through sound, movement, and imagination, they create musical scenes and express emotions in creative ways. They learn how rhythm, melody, and movement work together to communicate ideas and bring stories to life.
Week 3 – Creating While We Play: Imagine, Improvise, and Compose/ Creando mientras jugamos: Imagina, improvisa y compone - Students step into the role of young composers as they explore musical creation. Through games, improvisation, and collaboration, they develop their own rhythmic patterns and melodic ideas, leading to short compositions. This week fosters creativity and builds confidence in expressing original musical ideas.
Week 4 – Stories Through Sound: Understanding Folk Music/ Historias por medio del sonido: Entendiendo la Música Folklórica - In the final week, students explore how music reflects culture, traditions, and community. They experience folk music from different places and time periods, discovering the stories behind the sounds.

Enfoque:

Los estudiantes exploran la música como una forma de expresión, conexión cultural y creatividad por medio del enfoque Orff. Basado en la filosofía de Carl Orff, este proceso enfatiza el aprendizaje mediante el juego, el movimiento, el canto, la improvisación y la exploración. Los estudiantes se conectan con las raíces del ritmo utilizando el cuerpo como instrumento y relacionando el movimiento con el canto y la percusión. Experimentan cómo la música puede contar historias sin palabras a través del sonido, el gesto y la imaginación. Mediante actividades lúdicas y creativas, los estudiantes improvisan, componen y colaboran. Por otro lado, tendrán la oportunidad de explorar cómo la música folklórica refleja las tradiciones, la cultura y la comunidad a lo largo del tiempo.
