Creative process and corporal movement as pedagogical tools in the children's choir

The present research studies the way children learn music through creative process and corporal movement, as pedagogical resource. The hypothesis of this research is that learning music: vocal pitch, rhythm reproduction, melodic identification and pulse; it is facilitated when the focuses of the work are the body movement’s practices during the creative process. The postulates of this research, related to learning and human development, are based on Lev S. Vigotski’s cultural-historical theory (2020, 2014). The study of the movement comes from the perspective of Rudolf Laban (1978,1990) and is thought along with Modern Educational Dance. The treatment of the corporal movement is linked with the four factors of movement: Time, Space, Flow and Weight. As for the creative process, this study is referenced in the perspective of the following two theoretical names: Vigotski (2014) and Laban (1990). At the end of the study, we at test that it is possible to learn the following musical contents: vocal tuning, rhythmic reproduction, melodic identification and pulse using the creative process associated with body movement as a pedagogical tool in choir singing lessons.
