SUSSEX SPECIALIST'S ENDORSEMENT
Natasha Gawlinski, Wider-Opportunities Music Teacher with East Sussex Music Service, says -
I truly believe, after teaching music for 10 years, that the best musical start in life is through dance and movement. The children who have experience of this have an internalized sense of pulse and beat. They are able to adapt to playing at different tempos, taking turns with others, they play more sensitively to those around them and enjoy a sense of ensemble when performing in bands. Of course not all children get this opportunity; for this reason, I think dance clubs in schools are essential, not only to feed into the curriculum but also to encourage a sense of community and fun.
For this reason I believe 'Why Dance?' is a great resource for primary schools |
