## Programme

  Music can be heard and felt. Through their bodies, instruments and movement, children discover rhythm and the atmosphere of music.

- 

### Listening

      What do you hear and what does the music evoke?

### Making music themselves

      Clapping hands and percussion instruments produce different sounds.

- 

### Moving and being still

      Dancing and stopping help children respond to the music.
