TECZA NUT
(rainbow of notes)
an interconnective
approach to early music
education through jazz in
Poland
Malwina Masternak
Why learning through music?
“engaging kids in music is also effective for bringing to
their attention other subjects, and learning them in a
combined manner, making it more fun, attractive,
and connected to the student’s experience.”
Eric Booth
“Do you see? A known fact [in isolation] is like a
dry, dead thing. But when those connections
are made, wham! All those facts become fun to
know instead of a drag.”
Leonard Bernstein
Why traditional
songs?
Poland has a very rich musical
tradition, from renowned
composers to local folkloric
songs and dances. However, due to
globalization, and the influence
and attraction that commercial
music has on young people, a lot
of our folklore, culture and
ancestral melodies are getting
lost at an alarming rate.
The curriculum of “TĘcza Nut” can be
taught in several different lesson
formats:
Ideal format:
Ø Five-day workshop with a final concert on
the six day
Other possible Formats:
Ø summer camp
Ø Five-week after school series (one class
meeting per week)
Ø Skype workshop
