Outdoor Learning Environment - Music Area

A Music and Movement Area in an Outdoor Space that encourages students to experiment with making music and creating expressive movement.Music and movement are keys to student's social, physical and mental development. Outdoor areas give students a place where they can experience music in an unstructured manner, allowing for improvisation and creativity. This creativity will help students be better thinkers and problem solvers in their classrooms and other areas of their lives. Pairing the music and movement areas will allow students to express musical concepts by moving their bodies to music and by playing instruments. Nature will inspire creative movements with the rich patterns found in trees, plants, water and weather. This area will not only help students become more creative, but will also inspire a lifetime appreciation of nature, music and learning.
