MUSICAL DOODLES
A fun and creative musical activity that introduces new listeners to classical music.
Each 30- to 40-minute session focuses on a theme that ties together art and music, and participants are encouraged to listen critically and think creatively as they come up with doodles based on the music they hear. By combining listening with an interactive element, young listeners are able to enjoy an introduction to live classical music in a casual and fun environment.
This season, all Musical Doodles sessions will be based on materials from the book Learning Through Art: The Guggenheim Museum Collection by Marilyn Goodman and Natalie Lieberman. Musical selections are made based on the artwork selected as inspiration for each session.
“Music listening, performance, and composition engage nearly every area of the brain that we have so far identified, and involve nearly every neural subsystem.”
