Our Quadrant Learning
Learning the basics
Learning The Basics
This quadrant is about enabling children to exercise through listening, moving, singing, and playing. Children learn about and react to the expressive qualities and elements of music. Learn and apply the structures and symbols representing sounds to expand your musical vocabulary. Pay close attention to improving children's hearing and sensitivity. The use of both conventional and unconventional sound sources is taught to children when producing sounds. They experimented with musical elements and discovered structural instruments to turn sound into music. Learn how to create sounds with instruments and voices and memorize and write down complicated rhythmic patterns, melodies, and harmonies.
Mixing Music & Thoughts

Through this quadrant, children discuss musical concepts while drawing on their personal experiences and perspectives. They become more aware of various sounds and the voice's capacity to express ideas and emotions. Using their hearing, imagination, and understanding of structural instruments, techniques, and musical elements, they improvise, compose, and perform music with high skill and finesse. Children demonstrate composition, arrangement, and improvisation using their developmental knowledge. It is created and organized by selecting materials in a particular style, genre, tradition, and cultural form with a specific goal.
