A music-motor education workshop for infants and preschoolers with the accompaniment of live instrumental music from four different eras

A project that awakens the motor and auditory development of infants and preschoolers through four periods of music – baroque, classicism, romanticism and 20th-century music – with an approach that includes parent participation. Through music and movement games children discover different timbres and styles and get acquainted with the sound of classical music and the main families of musical instruments.
