3. Learning through Music

 

e) Creating Creativity

 

 

In 2011, Anne Helle Jespersen produced the set of teaching materials, Rhythmical Building Blocks – from J.S. Bach to James Brown together with co-author Marc Bernstein, saxophonist, composer and educator. The book includes a CD and it is aimed at music teaching in primary schools. It presents principles and tools, however, that can be used in a variety of music teaching situations and institutions.


Aspects of this project:

a) the main purpose of the book which is to stimulate children and young people through rhythmical music to be creative, artistic and intuitive

b) her role as a communicator and “cultural translator” of the work and teaching of an artist

c) the collaboration between artists, higher schools of music in Denmark i.e. music conservatories, and the public school system.
