Creating Connections through Music at the Global World

online course

The course framework is created of approaches to explore and define music as a life-long human phenomenon despite of the culture in question: musical experiences create an orientation for life from the prenatal phase to the elderly days. Music is being observed as interaction, and as a ground for education, wellbeing, and learning.

During the course, aspects and observations for music and music integration are created, grounded on research-based learning tasks. Detailed connections to practical examples and tasks will help the learner to adopt the music philosophy with value-based orientation to foster teaching through musical communication and learn about the benefiting of music pedagogical models at the working life practices.
