Music Activities
Introduction to group singing with procedures such as: circular arrangement in an upright and sitting posture, the pupils lie on their backs in order to better practice diaphragmatic breathing. Breathing as a means of activating the whole body, practicing the oral cavity for good articulation of the phonemes (orthophony), imitation of the sound of the wolf (ου-ου-ου-ου) (ou-ou-ou-ou) to stretch the palate and soften the uvula (vocal warm-up), rhythmic exercises with clapping hands and body, and further practice in music reading and writing.
