Listening and Appreciation

We all know that listening to music boost cognitive performance.
But did you know that periods of listening to music help children recover the ability to concentrate?
Listening to music is particularly good for boosting cognitive readiness, regulate mood and arousal levels and improve focus and engagement.

But for real results, children need to listen, not just have music on in the background.
This is where a well structured Music Listening and Appreciation program comes in handy.

Wouldn’t you like to have engaging activities ready after lunch to set your students up for a productive afternoon of learning.
We can help.

I’ve been hoping for something like this to come along for a long time. In the short time I have used the program I can see its benefits across all grades. Well done! – Greg Costello, Music Teacher, Figtree Heights Public School, Woollongong

• In the multimedia world of click-throughs and sound bites, are our students processing anything? Are they listening? Are they comprehending? Are they appreciating? Are they responding?
• Do you want to introduce your students to classical music but don’t know how?

Listening Room invites students to imagine, explore and create. They will listen, move, dance, play instruments & body percussion, role-play, experience relaxation techniques, draw & paint, discuss and reflect, complete quizzes … and be exposed to amazing and timeless classics. They will also be learning (or reinforcing) musical elements – such as beat, rhythm, melody, form, tempo, dynamics, texture, style etc.
