  • Close your eyes, and do music! Activity by Martin O.

    Es ist ein Phänomen: Sobald die wir die Augenbinden aufsetzen und das Sehen in den Hintergrund geht, werden die Ohren grösser und grösser. Die Aufmerksamkeit auf das Hören öffnet einen Zugang zur Musik den wir mit einfachen Rhythmus-Instrumenten und mit der Stimme erleben. So entstehen einzigartige Circle-Songs und eine bare Freude am Zusammenspiel ohne ausgestellt zu sein. Willkomm.
