Musical Fairytale Workshop 2014-2015

The world of the fairy tale with writer, musician and storyteller Marivita Grammatikaki, opens up a large embrace for children to fill with their own stories.

Workshop leader:

 Marivita Grammatikaki (author - musician)

 Author Marivita Grammatikaki tells a fairytale and then dresses it with music. Children are thus taught the role of music in shaping images and characters, in narrative and emotion.

Under guidance of the workshop leader, the children are then encouraged to create their own story and collectively choose a musical score.

Duration of the workshop is one hour. The aims and goals by participating in the workshop are:

• Development of children’s imaginations

• Communication with their emotions and thoughts

• Creating a soundtrack commensurate to their emotions

• Selection of a musical motif, relative to the narrative and recognition of characters through music

• Team work

• Role playing (each child takes on a character’s role)

• Expression of personal ideas and coordination

• Development of communication and expression

The Musical Fairytale Workshop is suitable for children 4 years and older.

Classes begin on 1st November 2014, at 12.30 pm.
