Short description:	The aim of the course is acquainting students with the basic knowledge of music within the esthetic and theoretical context as well as their sensitizing to music. While performing their own musical activities: movements with music, playing the percussion, singing, listening to and creating the elementary music (Orff methods) the students will be able to acquaint themselves with music both as listeners and performers. Their acquired experience and skills will allow for deeper understanding problems connected with music and its performing. The musical knowledge will also be discussed in the context of musical development of a child. The repertoire learned during the classes students will be able to use in their work with children.
