Project description:
In this project, students will explore the connection between nature and music. Using available technology and digital tools, we will create collections of works and present musical instruments made from natural and recycled materials. We will play with objects from nature and create musical melodies and rhythms inspired by the sounds of nature. Students will also express themselves artistically and their creativity will be nurtured through art. They will share their experiences and works through collaborative quiz games, video conferencing, and the Twinspace platform. Copyright and netiquette will be respected in all topics and the students' environmental awareness will be promoted.
The project is aimed at students aged 10-15.
Project tasks:
·      Creating the logo of the Music & Nature project (September, October)
·      Exploring and presenting musical instruments made from natural or recycled materials (November, Januar)

We plan to hold three videoconferences with project partners (September, January, May) and student videoconferences with at least two schools involved in the project during the project period. The topics of the videoconferences will be related to the project tasks, we will consider the ideas of all project partners as well as the ideas of the students. The goal of the project is to enhance students' creativity through music and art, connect them with nature where they find inspiration and beauty, and strengthen the principles of ecology and nature conservation.
