This chapter explores how music and movement are intertwined and how movement can shape children’s understanding of music and help guide their creative expressions. Various structured movement activities are described, such as the Body Orchestra and the Names Game, both of which are based on Dalcroze techniques. Listening deeply is also examined, using sonic meditations as a way of both developing techniques for intense listening and pushing the boundaries of what counts as music. The chapter also considers the relationship between sound and silence and describes ways of consciously integrating movement and intense listening (with associated classroom activities). It concludes by developing the links between simple movement games and more sophisticated creations, leading to more complex choreographed works.
